Five Cards, Underworld Money, and a Sharp Knife. Jake Fallon can’t catch a break. He borrows and crashes a truck, and while getting checked out by the paramedics, the other driver kicks his ribs in. He falls in love at the hospital, only to end up dead a few days later. When Flynt and Steele are called in, they find Jake with Aces and Eights, the dead man’s hand, stuck to his chest with a six-inch switchblade. When shadowy figures are spotted at the hospital, and potential suspects start piling up, where do Flynt and Steele look first? As they dig deeper, even legitimate businessmen begin to seem dirty and suspect. With Steele’s wife becoming weaker by the day, his mind is torn in two directions and he realizes certain sorrow is looming. Meanwhile, Flynt’s life has taken a turn for the better. Can their personal lives draw the two mismatched partners closer together, or will it widen the gap? Join Flynt and Steele as they are dealt the strangest case yet. They'll have to go all in to catch a killer, but also make sure they don't get dealt a Dead Man's Hand of their own in the process. If you like a taut, page-turning mystery with a fat dose of betrayal, look no further than this fourth outing for fiction’s most mismatched cops – Flynt and Steele.

Michael Maxwell
Michael Maxwell
Author · 25 books

Micheal Maxwell has traveled the globe on the lookout for strange sights, sounds, and people. His adventures have taken him from the Jungles of Ecuador and the Philippines to the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, and from the cave dwellings of Native Americans to The Kehlsteinhaus, Hitler’s Eagles Nest! He’s always looking for a story to tell and interesting people to meet. Micheal Maxwell was taught the beauty and majesty of the English language by Bob Dylan, Robertson Davies, Charles Dickens, and Leonard Cohen. Mr. Maxwell has traveled the globe, dined with politicians, rock stars, and beggars. He has rubbed shoulders with priests and murderers, surgeons and drug dealers, each one giving him a part of themselves that will live again in the pages of his books. Micheal Maxwell has found a niche in the mystery, suspense, genre with The Cole Sage Series that gives readers an everyman hero, short on vices, long on compassion, and a sense of fair play, and the willingness to risk everything to right wrongs. The Cole Sage Series departs from the usual, heavily sexual, profanity-laced norm and gives readers character-driven stories, with twists, turns, and page-turning plot lines. Micheal Maxwell writes from a life of love, music, film, and literature. Along with his lovely wife and travel partner, Janet, he lives in a small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
