I'm giving this book away to anyone who's willing to send me a book in return.
It seems it's quite rare. There are two copies in Abebooks, both priced around
50$.
The book stars Jesse James, who's one of the female P.I's from the seventies
and eighties (even though she's not technically a private eye, she works like
one). The book was the fifth in the series, but the only one to come from
Women's Press. I think this was also the last one.
It seems that Meg O'Brien is writing romance novels nowadays, but she started
out as a hardboiled writer. I didn't much like the book, although it has an
interesting premise: Jesse James gets a visitor who turns out to be his own
father, a two-bit hustler who's running from some bad guys.
Anyone willing to get this? All I'm asking is that I receive a hardboiled
paperback in return and it certainly doesn't have to be in the same price
category, not even close.
