<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Dennis wrote with assurance. His prose was muscular, swift, and highly readable." Joe R. Lansdale, from his introduction </b><p>Jim Hardman was an Atlanta cop until he was wrongly accused of corruption and thrown off the force. Now he works as an unlicensed PI, trouble-shooter and bodyguard...often partnered with his drinking buddy Hump Evans, a black, ex-NFL player who supports his playboy lifestyle by working as hired muscle. A small-town farmer hires Hardman to find his teenage daughter who ran off to Atlanta to become a model...and ended up a hooker. It's fast work for Hardman, but she's gunned down minutes after he finds her. To hunt her killer, Hardman and Hump Evans take a deep dive into a bottomless cesspool of vice and greed that could drown them. <p>This new edition includes an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale, author of the Hap & Leonard novels, and an afterword by Paul Bishop, author and retired LAPD homicide detective. <p><b>Praise for the HARDMAN novels by Ralph Dennis: </b><p>"Ralph Dennis is an underappreciated master. His Hardman series is one of the finest in the P.I. genre." Robert Randisi, founder of the Private Eye Writers of America<p> "Among the best series books around." <i>Philadelphia Daily News</i><p>"Expert writing, plus good plotting and an unusual degree of sensitivity." <i>New York Times</i>
