Sometimes even criminals need a detective...
It's Atlanta, 1974. Ex-cop Jim Hardman and ex-NFL player Hump Evans do odd jobs. Anything that pays. As long as its not kidnapping, robbery, or murder. Not that they are afraid of killing...if that's what it takes to survive one of their odd jobs. And this time it will. An old, professional gambler who once saved Hardman's neck has been working as an accountant for The Man, the city's black Godfather. When the gambler is killed, and The Man's coded ledger disappears, Hardman and Hump are hired to get the book...and settle the score.
This is the seventh book in the legendary HARDMAN series and includes an Afterword from Hank Wagner, co-editor of the book "Thrillers: 100 Must Reads."
PRAISE FOR THE HARDMAN NOVELS:
"Some of the finest paperback originals I have ever read were part of Ralph Dennis' HARDMAN series. The books were well-written, hard-hitting, unsentimental, but still full of heart." Mystery Scene Magazine
“Ralph Dennis has mastered the genre and supplied top entertainment.” The New York Times
“The Hardman books are by far the best of the men's action-adventure series.” Mother Jones Magazine
“Among the best series books around. The dialogue is marvelously realistic.” Philadelphia Daily News
"The Hardman series is one of the finest in the P.I. genre." Robert Randisi, founder of the Private Eye Writers of America
