HARD CASH (The Jack Barnett / Las Vegas Series 2)

What if a total stranger gave you $95,000 in cash as he lay dying in the street? Do you keep it? Even after knowing who it really belongs to?

In this novelette by Mike Dennis, ex-private investigator Jack Barnett is handed such an envelope on a back street in Las Vegas. He needs the money, but as he learns more about it, he is drawn deeper into the world of a shady real estate mogul, whose reach extends all the way to a Texas border town, where bribery is the way things get done.

HARD CASH is the second installment in Mike Dennis' Jack Barnett / Las Vegas series, centering around the reluctant ex-PI in Sin City, USA. The third book in the series is a full novel called THE DOWNTOWN DEAL and is now available.
