'If tough is your taste, you get it here ... tautly plotted, Angel Eyes moves swiftly to a firecracker string of final revelations' The Houston Post

Ann Maringer is a go-go dancer with a problem: her life is in danger, and she's certain that her end is coming soon. Her only hope is Amos Walker, a hot-tempered, Detroit based private eye with a caustic wit and a talent for getting into trouble. A guy who 'sticks like nuclear fallout', according to a former client.

But then Lila turns up dead, and suddenly politics are the last thing on Moses's mind...
