Dame Fortune Wears Black — Jim Tausworthe

A beautiful red-headed Amazon-size woman is found murdered inside the marina where ex-city cop Cade McCane's boat is berthed. A mysterious gambling cruise ship off Galveston's coast is thought to harbor her killer. McCane becomes entangled with big money, blackmail, lust, greed, robbery, and a powerful underworld syndicate as he attempts to bring her murderer to justice.
