It’s a dark night on an empty road as Mike heads back to New York. A tall blonde literally jumps out of nowhere right into his headbeams. He angrily picks her up and continues driving. Suddenly he’s driven off the road, knocked out, put back in his car along with the woman and the car is pushed off a cliff. Mike survives the murder attempt, however, the woman's luck isn’t as good. It turns out that the woman was a witness for the FBI, which puts Mike into the hotseat once again. True to form, Mike, even though warned by the feds and local police department, takes it upon himself to investigate the murder.

The Mafia is also involved as they try to take Mike out of the picture, both directly and by subtler means. As he continues to question people and throw his fists around, he soon discovers what the Mafia is after and why they are gunning for him. However, there’s one catch; does he turn in the prize or trade it in for Velda’s life? Read this book to find out, and don’t miss the horrific ending. I liked this book quite a bit, with its’ twists and turns, and the fact that Mike barely uses Betsy ( his gun ) but instead opts to duke it out with his feet, his fists and anything else he can get his mitts on.
