There's no rest for the weary in this hardboiled mystery that takes PI Mike Shayne from the beaches of Miami to the halls of the Senate.
Mike Shayne is running on no sleep when he's convinced by the daughter of a US senator to help her father, who's fallen into the clutches of a much younger woman. It's a tale as old as time, only this version ends in blackmail. Notorious lobbyist Sam Toby is using the femme fatale to get a compromising photo of the politician in time to call off Senate hearings into a controversial airplane contract that he brokered, and there's one billion dollars at stake.
With only hours to stop the assignation, Shayne heads to Washington, DC, where the greed, corruption, and danger should be enough to keep him up all night. But even if he survives until morning when the hearings resume, there won't be enough alcohol in the world to wash the taste of the most crooked people on Earth out of his mouth . . .
"The hard-drinking, hard-fisted, quick-thinking private eye!" -Dayton Journal-Herald
