Description
Rushmore McKenzie is both a millionaire and an unlicensed PI, which means he
can afford to do the occasional favor and, as a former detective for the St.
Paul (Minnesota) Police Department, he's got the necessary skills and
connections to do them right. But this time, he's really stepped in it.
When the ATF gets a lead on a much sought-after cache of illegal guns
near the Canadian border, they call McKenzie in to help them track down the
elusive gunrunners. Their only lead is a guy who is part of a small-time gang of
armed robbers working north of the Twin Cities. Their idea is for McKenzie to
infiltrate the group and wait for them to lead him to the guns. Their plan is to
fix McKenzie with a false identity as a serious bad guy and then fake an escape
with the captured gang member. Which seemed like a bad idea to McKenzie at the
time, but even he had no idea just how bad things were going to get.

Advance Praise
“Excellent . . . McKenzie, who navigates a treacherous path just to stay (barely) alive, not only delivers a Nick Charles–like ending but metes out poetic justice to a fair number of participants.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)
“Like the other entries in this entertaining series, the book is a
contemporary mystery with overtones from the era of classic hard-boiled
detectives.” —Booklist
“Housewright has always been one of
Minnesota's gems in the genre, a writer whose books may be lighter in tone than
John Sandford's, but are just as suspenseful and satisfying.” —Star
