James Reed is an ex-Scotland Yard cop who became the ex-husband of a famous Hollywood actress. He's happily lazing around in the Malibu beach house he snagged in the divorce when a storm slams the coastline with monster waves. He rushes out to help evacuate other homes...and discovers a passed-out, drunken neighbor and a naked woman robbing the man's floor safe. Reed lets her go... a mistake that gets him falsely accused of rape, chased by killers, and hired by a billionaire being blackmailed into marriage. And that's only the beginning of Reed's troubles. "An unusually shaped plot and vivid characters." Kirkus Reviews "A satisfying and well-constructed Chandleresque plot. Sangster definitely makes the grade as a gifted suspense writer." Publishers Weekly "Read a couple of these James Reed novels and author Jimmy Sangster could get to be a habit." Anniston Star "A second helping of James Reed should be as well received as the first. Sangster certainly has a ball writing this series." Chicago Tribune "This is a fast-moving, funny, sexy -- very sexy -- story. The conclusion is a shocker. Sangster is writing better than ever and James Reed is a very charming character." Robert J. Randisi, writing in The Orlando Sentinel

Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st ed., with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. 2nd James Reed title. California and Las Vegas. "Sangster's ex-London policeman James Reed (Snowball), now living in Malibu and divorced from his wealthy actress wife, makes a welcome second outing here. The novel's facile, casual style quickly draws the reader into a satisfying and well-constructed Chandleresque plot dealing with the corruptions of wealth and the deceit it inspires. When Reed plays the good samaritan for an inebriated neighbor he discovers a naked girl going through the man's bedroom safe. The next thing Reed knows, the girl has charged him with rape; which quite sets Reed's temper on edge. The drunk turns out to be reclusive multibillionaire Harold J. Everly, and, in his determination to even the score, Reed unofficially begins working for the tycoon. Almost immediately events escalate and Reed finds himself facing a possible murder rap. The swiftly unfolding plot leads Reed from the high-rolling casinos of Las Vegas to a fight for his life in the deserted wilds of Needles, Calif., taking in randy L.A. real estate brokers, a pair of lesbian tenants and a nasty 10-year-old unsolved murder along the way. Sangster definitely makes the grade as a gifted suspense writer."--Publishers Weekly.
