Dark Lake

Dark Lake:
While lounging with a bottle of Jack Daniels and his father's retired NYPD detective partner Rick Anthony, Mike Angel and Rick are shocked to see a bound woman dive head first out a second story window across the street, followed by a fireball. Who is she and who tried to fry her alive? Here is the steamiest of the Mike Angel Mystery series! Angel, a 32-year-old private eye in Chicago, follows clues about the woman and winds up infiltrating a white slaver and murder for profit ring that lures conventioneers with sex shows, then tortures and kills them, dumping victims into Lake Michigan. After his office love, Molly Bennett is abducted, Mike barely controls his rage and chases the redheaded prostitute leader to New Orleans, where he races the clock to find Molly before her memory is erased by drugs and she's led into a role as a queen prototype in the flesh markets. Rick works the case from Chicago while Mike and an old army buddy chase the bad guys. The ending twist reveals the mastermind behind the international crime ring. Set in Chicago and New Orleans in 1961, Dark Lake is the 2nd in the Mike Angel Series, each a stand-alone tale.
