An Ed Lacy mystery with a private eye. This one was published in hardcover and recieved some high praise.

Here's a quote:

"The Best That Ever Did It...[enjoyed] his first solid recognition. The book went into a second printing. The protagonist Barney Harris is a 248-pound auto mechanic/PI based in New York City who is hired by a cop’s widow to root out police corruption and nail her husband’s murderer.

"....This Ed Lacy title snagged plaudits from the picky James Sandoe (“exhibits a suspenseful proceeding”), Anthony Boucher (“lively, ingenious, entertaining”), and The New Yorker (“plot is probably sound enough”). Indeed, Ed Lacy had hit a groove all writers dream about in their careers."

I hope you enjoy it.

These are the kind of books that my Father would pick up on a Friday after work and lay on the couch the whole weekend reading. He might finish 3 or 4 of them plus catch the baseball game on TV.
