TEMPTATION TOWN (The Jack Barnett / Las Vegas Series) (Volume 1)

Jack Barnett has had it with the private eye business. They took his license away in LA, and fearing criminal prosecution, he split town in the middle of the night and headed for Las Vegas, where anyone can become anonymous. 
 
He swears off the business, but his money runs low and when a man offers him $5000 to find his missing daughter who has disappeared into the sex trade of Las Vegas, he agrees. He soon wishes he hadn't when the haunting memory of a woman from his past gets in the way.
 
Temptation Town is a novelette, about 12,000 words, the first of the Jack Barnett series from Mike Dennis. Set in the steaming underbelly of Las Vegas, these tales of a reluctant ex-private investigator drag the reader down the darkest streets of Sin City, USA, a town in constant need of fresh blood for its own survival. 
"His writing is tight, to the point, like a line drawing." -- Noir Journal
