Description:
Quote:He was a son who hadn't known his father very well. It was a town shaken by a grisly murder-his father's murder. Johnny Weatherly was home from a war and wandering. When he found out that his father had been assassinated on a street corner and that his father's seductive young wife had inherited a fortune, he started knocking on doors. The doors came open, and Johnny stepped into a world of gamblers, whores, drug-dealers, and blackmailers, a place in which his father had once moved freely. Now Johnny Weatherly was going to solve this murder-by pitting his rage, his courage, and his lost illusions against the brutal underworld that has overtaken his hometown.Category:Mystery & Thrillers, Detective Fiction, Detective Fiction - Hard-Boiled
