White Collar Murders

by Al Stevens

When the Captain gives him a month off to deal with his drinking problem, soft-boiled detective Stanley Bentworth bails out to accept an invitation from an old pal to consult as head of security for a high-tech startup corporation.With a respite from the pressures of small-town homicide investigations, he dives into the mundane administration of a security system and the supervision of a staff of inexperienced rent-a-cops.But when a company executive is discovered with a bullet in his brain, Stanley finds himself drawn into a homicide investigation with overtones of corporate espionage and domestic terrorism, all the while butting heads with his counterparts in the local police. Instead of a much-needed rest, he is up to his eyeballs in the cold, heartless, and even sinister world of corporate finance, giving new meaning to the phrase hostile takeover.

Another Great Book

Another great book by Al Stevens. Comedy, drama, action, sarcasm, suspense, intelligent and flowing plot and a double Jack neat. Damn Al you would’ve been a billionaire if you started writing Bentworth books around the time Bill Pronzini did. Can’t wait to start the next one. Great job.
