(1995)(The first book in the Harry Rice Mystery series)
A novel by Allan Pedrazas
1996 Edgar Award for Best First Novel (nominee)
1996 Shamus Award for Best First PI Novel (nominee)
With the income from his low-key beach pub, the Sand Bar, Harry Rice has room for discretion in the detective work he takes on. So he should have been a little more selective about taking Eloise Loftus's case - especially since Wade Loftus tried to fire Harry before Eloise even had a chance to hire him.
It seems like a fairly simple job. The Loftuses' apartment was cleaned out by burglars, and while the insurance company has replaced nearly everything, they can't do much about the stolen collection of antique guns. Disregarding Wade Loftus's objections, Harry starts looking for the guns, only to realize that all is not what it seems. Simple theft segues into adultery, smuggling, and murder - with Harry perfectly positioned to take the blame.
