Description
Helping a babe dump a body in his boyhood quarry is the biggest mistake of Mike Angel's young career as a private investigator in New Jersey in 1960. Thinking the body won't ever be found, Mike soon learns that remnants of Detroit's infamous Purple Gang of the 1930s with connections in New York are looking for the dead man. A wild ride follows, with Mike obsessing about the female's sexual talents while dodging tentacles from the crime family from as far away as Cuba and Chicago. If you like complex plots, soul-tortured protagonists, and suspense, you'll be hooked by this series. Hardboiled historical fiction, suspense, seduction and even a supernatural element--Mike's murdered father, a career NYPD lieutenant whose "voice" warns Mike whenever danger is near, is either from stress or from St. Peter, and Mike isn't sure which.
--
Mike initially got into hot water when a wealthy ex-college buddy hired him to tail Joe Ambler, a petty blackmailer, Mike fixates on Kimbra, the blackmailer's woman, a stunning beauty who commits the murder. Several cases tangle but eventually lead to the showdown at Russian mob headquarters outside the small town of Mattoon, Illinois, where he hopes to nail his father's killer and save the life of another tortured female. There are lighter moments in this suspenseful classic, which barely help relieve the jaw-tightening action and danger. Dark Quarry is the first in the Mike Angel Series, each a stand-alone tale, one that Bogart would love to audition for.
