It was blackmail, penned in letters so long and smooth they could have hailed a cab. Since leaving the merchant marines, Mickey Fairfax had eked out a living renting dinghies to scuttle around Boston Harbor. That was before Andrew Gray walked through his door. The wealthy shipping magnate asked Mickey to travel to Paris to deliver a brick of cash to a blackmailer. It was supposed to be a simple hand-off, but when Mickey discovers he's handed the money to the wrong woman, and the right woman winds up dead, both the Paris police and a hive of gangsters think he knows something about it. In the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald, comes a hard-boiled hero plunged into in a strange land, trying to do the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reason.
