A Nick Polo Mystery
Nick Polo, a San Francisco-based, smart and slick private eye, sometimes
bends the rules to get what he wants. But now he's in prison for bending
the rules a bit too far, and he is given an ultimatum: The mayor of San
Francisco is being blackmailed and no one can help her because even the
cops may be involved. If Polo wants to get out of jail and get his P.I.
license back, he's got to find out who's behind the scam, stop it, and
tell no one. His investigation takes him from the luxurious resort areas
of Sonoma County to the dangerous drug-and-pornography underworld of
San Francisco's inner city. His suspects range from the seediest petty
criminals and hit men to the most powerful men in the municipal
government. As the investigation intensifies, and the pieces fall into
place, there becomes only one thing Polo is sure of: he'd gladly go back
to jail, if he could only get there alive.
