Special Delivery

Polo leaves his San Francisco home base to do a favor for an old friend. It sounds simple enough: Fly to London to hand deliver a letter, a check, and a cassette tape to a distant cousin of Polo's friend Raymond Singh. With first-class plane tickets, a hefty expense account, and reservations at the Ritz, how can he refuse?
Raymond's cousin Gurbeep Singh proves elusive, though, and in the process of tracking him down, the persistent detective runs into several nasty situations. As Polo delves deeper into Gurbeep's affairs, a dark picture emerges. Undeterred, he continues an investigation that takes him from London to San Francisco and Canada and into the vicious underworld of pornography, smuggling, kidnapping, and murder.
Praise for Jerry Kennealy and the Nick Polo series
Green With Envy
"The sixth Nick Polo story again blends the Pi's wry commentary on modern society-especially as experienced in San Francisco-with fast- paced adventure to create a thoroughly entertaining romp."-Publishers Weekly
"A fine entry in this underrated series."-Kirkus Reviews
Polo's Wild Card "Kennealy has a knack for weaving local scandal with San Francisco topography... Add to this the latest methods in picking locks, buying burglar gloves, computer hacking (private-eye style), and use of criminal indexes... we get quite a bit for our money from ex-con and ex-cop Polo."-San Francisco Chronicle
"Polo's at his most raffishly amusing throughout... Highly recommended for people who read mysteries for the detective's company...."-Kirkus Reviews
Polo in the Rough
"Diverting caper featuring PI Nick Polo... Kennealy, a PI himself, weaves a series of twists and turns that reveal a sure-handed knowledge of detective work."-Publishers Weekly
"Kennealy's finely crafted stories always hold my interest. Never a wasted word."-San Francisco Examiner
