Product Description The novel's protagonist Alex Lautrec is a former NYPD Lieutenant currently running his own successful P.I. Agency. Out of the blue he receives a call from his former wife, now residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She reveals that her current husband, a renowned artist and sculptor has been killed in a bizarre foundry mishap. Though declared an accident, she believes his death was intentionally staged by the foundry's owner, a larger-than-life entrepreneur named Victor Savage and pleads with her ex to fly out to Santa Fe and investigate.Lautrec views the case as sufficiently compelling to shift his case-load onto his partner's shoulders and head for New Mexico. His first discovery upon arrival is that his former wife has lost none of her considerable sex-appeal and prays he can retain his focus while house-guesting under her roof.His first call upon Savage convinces him that his client's suspicions are warranted, bolstered by a warning to back-off. About the Author Following his European upbringing, Richard Jack settled in South Texas where he has resided since the early 60s mostly spent in Houston. He is currently at work on his third novel.
