The one thing that can ruin a good night of fooling around is a murder in the morning... Former crime journalist Joe Sheldon has really taken to his new role, tracking down deadbeats for his bookie friend Dickie.It's a far cry from covering the dark side of Miami for the local rag. He enjoys getting to act like a tough guy, even if he goes out of his way to avoid the violence.But when Joe gets involved with the wife of the man he's trying to track down, things get... more than a little complicated. Especially after she turns up dead. Between an angry husband who has apparently pissed off the mob and cops who think Joe's somehow involved with all the murders taking place, this time it looks like he's in real trouble. If he can't bring the truth to the surface soon, he just may pay the ultimate price...
Autorenporträt
Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
