Separate Cases

Miles Jacoby misses his days in the boxing ring and wonders--after a humiliating confrontation with a prosecutor--whether he's qualified to work as a private investigator. Two cases have landed in his lap, and neither is going anywhere. One involves a mob boss accused of murder. The other brings Miles together with a dead private eye's sultry widow. In the shadows--a figure who's ready to cancel both their tickets.
Said Elmore Leonard of the debut Jacoby novel: "If [it] moved any faster you'd have to nail it down to read it." With a new Afterword by the author.
