Cuyahoga Blues — James Dargan

CUYAHOGA BLUES, A NAPOLEON CLANCY BOOK, VOL. 2 It's two men against a whole world of criminality. They're Batman and Robin without the masks, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza minus the windmills, Holmes and Watson with not a clue in sight. Meet Napoleon 'Nappy' Clancy, ex Birmingham bobbie and Cleveland cop, now a private detective trying to make ends meet, along with his 'sidekick', Dubliner Barry Fanning, himself an ex-Guard back in Ireland. After earning twenty grand from Clare Jameson, Clancy now has enough money to see his children in Cleveland and to take them on a trip to Disney World. When he gets to his ex-wife's house to pick up his kids, however, he discovers her southern Hell's Angel biker boyfriend, Billy Bob Taylor, has kidnapped them. By chance, Fanning's in America, too, visiting his brother in Boston whom he hasn't seen for years. With Fanning's help, Clancy embarks on a wild-goose chase against the clock which takes him to Cleveland, Nashville, Alabama, back to Cleveland again, and once more to the Heart of Dixie for a showdown with the bad guys that will literally be 'out of this world' to save his kids' lives.
