Loose Coins — Joe L. Hensley

HEADS YOU LIVE, TAILS YOU DIE

Former attorney and rare coin expert Al Sears sobered up and became a private investigator, picking up the pieces after his law career and marriage went south fast and hard. When a friendly poker game is interrupted by a robbery attempt, his quick thinking saves a few lives and reveals a shocking fact: the interloper was a hired killer. And Al was most likely the intended victim.

He's made a few enemies in his career as a criminal attorney. Was it a bitter client? An angry ex-wife? Or one of his own poker buddies; a few of them had shady pasts. Soon Al's unraveling a mystery of greed, revenge and double-dealing in the rarefied world of valuable coins ... where he's learned not to take anything at face value -- especially staying alive.
