A desperate want ad draws Mike Shayne into a tangled murder plot
Robert McGinnis Cover |
Lost Innocence
It started with a post in the classifieds. A woman calls for a red-blooded American, a soldier-of-fortune type willing to do anything
if the price is right...even commit murder. This catches the eye of Tim
Rourke, hotshot reporter, who passes it on to Mike Shayne, the legendary
Miami detective. Rourke believes the ad was placed by a lonely
housewife hoping to pay someone to knock off her husband, and he thinks
the story could be front-page news. He just needs someone willing to
answer the call.....and Shayne has the reddest blood in Miami.
Shayne responds to the ad, and finds the situation far stranger than anything he and Rourke could have dreamed up. His new employer is sweet, young, and scared for her life. Plus, there’s $50,000 at stake—and a life on the line.
