Cash Out - Paperback

by Jerry Kennealy (Author)

WHEN YOU'RE IN THIS DEEP, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING TO DO... CASH OUT.

HERE'S THE STORY: San Francisco bookie Billy Rossi is more than $300,000 short. Some Chinatown thugs beat it out of him and his girlfriend, Sherri the showgirl. But who could he report it to? Insurance companies? Cops? No. That's why he calls down-and-out ex-cop John "Tomb" Tomei.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Tomb needs money. Billy needs help. All Tomb has to do is go after the thugs, find out why they're trying to push Billy into early retirement, and get the money back. Easy, right?

HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Sherri has disappeared. And the only person Tomb can count on is the retired king of the Chinatown beat, crazy Red Vanes. But Red has his own psychotic idea about settling the score-and Tomb has to move fast before the high-powered Chinese gangster who wants both Tomb and Red dead gets his wish...
