Private Investigator Dick Moonlight returns
to chase down a cop gone bad in the next installment of author Vincent
Zandri’s clever and cunning Moonlight series.Moonlight has
hit some turbulence. Sure, his bar burned to the ground; his significant
other, Lola, left him for another man; the private eye business is
slow; and his evenings are now spent with his new pal, Jack Daniels. But
this is real turbulence—in a plane, going down fast, and he’s
waking up handcuffed to an FBI agent. How he got there is a little
fuzzy, thanks to the sliver of a .22 caliber hollow-point bullet lodged
in his brain.Once on the ground, and after a few bumps and
bruises, things become clearer and more dangerous. Thinking he’s been
brought to FBI headquarters for drunk-dialing the IRS, Moonlight learns
that he’s got some unfinished business: his last case, which had him up
against Russian mobsters in search of a zip drive loaded with government
secrets, isn’t exactly closed. The cop who was supposed to deliver
the goods to the FBI went rogue, bringing along a crooked agent and
Moonlight’s ex, and now he’s out to sell the hardware to the highest
bidder. The FBI wants Moonlight’s help in tracking down the trio—all the
way to Florence, Italy—and wooing Lola into handing over the zip drive.
He’s just going to have to outwit, outrun, and outshoot the Russian
thugs who have their own big plans for the zip drive, and for Moonlight.
