The Blind Pig

A taut police thriller featuring detective "Fang" Mulheisenfrom a writer hailed as "the best-kept secret of hard-boiled crime fiction connoisseurs" (The New York Times Book Review).

When a cop guns down an intruder during a break-in, it seems like another case of a bad guy meeting a bad enduntil the owner of the garage being burgled is revealed to be Jerry Vanni, a young man whose trucking empire is branching out into juke boxes and vending machines.

Detroit's Det. Sgt. "Fang" Mulheisen knows that Vanni's businesses are normally controlled by the moband when a pair of gunmen walks into a bar and fills one of Vanni's jukes with lead, Mulheisen is sure there's more trouble on the way.

His investigation leads him into an ever-growing criminal enterprise involving gun-smuggling Cubans, a million-dollar heist, and a gorgeous woman mixed up with both. It's the kind of trouble that can get a good cop killed . . .
