Private Eye Nick Bancroft's Deadliest Case
When Vicki Fowler's body is found covered with bee stings in a Central Illinois pasture, the sheriff calls her death an accident.
Freelance reporter and private detective Nick Bancroft doesn't believe it. He learns the victim lived in a home for young unwed mothers who work as waitresses and whores at a local nightclub. Murder suspects include an alcoholic handy man, the man and wife who operate the home, a nightclub operator and his henchman, and a sheriff's deputy. Federal agents on the trail of an international porn ring try to halt Nick's investigation. Nick is beaten and thrown in a ditch. Later, he and his earthy lover, Maggie Atley, are dumped in a deep lake with weights tied to their ankles.
Nick Bancroft Mysteries are:
"Power packed.... Draw the reader into the story from the opening line and hold the attention to the surprising end. Peopled with fascinating, credible characters." (Holly Martin in Black Dragon Reviews)
“As action-packed as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan without the military minutiae, and as filled with both local color and universal appeal as Carl Hiassen’s gems.” (Bill Knight, Community Word)
"Full of twists and turns. A real Loo-Loo!" (Detra Fitch, Huntress Book Reviews)
"The equivalent of comfort food for the reader of detective mysteries. It is the type of story you read with smoky jazz playing on your stereo and a snifter of brandy sitting on the table next to you.... A mystery reader's meal for when all you want is a good yarn and a chair to relax in.” (S. A. Gordon, author Murder Picnic)
"Deft tales of murder, complicity and downright evil, gripping narratives which appeal to the lover of good action-packed mystery thrillers. Highly Recommended." (Molly's Reviews)

Historia
It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

grow up maggie
I empathized with Nick and wondered why he put with all Maggie's derogatory actions and words. I found Maggie ignorant , interfering , and very unsupported along with totally unlikable. Small town corruption wad so vile and rampant that it made me physically ill. Glad for some resolution and hoping Nick comes to his senses after smexy time. smh!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
