Clutching at Straws by J.L. Abramo (English) Paperback Book

Description: Clutching at Straws by J.L. Abramo The follow-up to the award-winning Catching Water in a Net... Lefty Wright had it all figured. In fact he was doing the math as he crawled into the deserted house through the kitchen window. Get to the bedroom, crack open the wall safe, grab the envelope, fifteen minutes. One thousand dollars a minute. Nice score. What Lefty neglected to factor in were the unknowns. And when the police nab him red-handed and discover the dead body of a prominent Criminal Courts Judge stuffed beneath the bed, Lefty finds himself charged with first degree murder with no shoes, no one believing in his innocence, and one phone call. He calls Jake Diamond. In his second outing, Diamond attempts to prove Leftys innocence while investigating a recent kidnapping and a fifteen year old homicide which may or may not be related to Leftys dilemma. From San Francisco to the avocado fields of central California to the sound stages of a film shoot in Denver, Diamonds suspects seem to have one thing in common; they are in no condition to talk by the time Jake gets to them. Praise for CLUTCHING AT STRAWS: "A worthy successor to Catching Water in a Net, Abramos second in the San Francisco based Jake Diamond series is a clever and well-crafted detective novel, gritty enough to satisfy hard-boiled readers but not so dark that it will put off more traditional mystery fans." -Publishers Weekly "This workmanlike second entry in the Jake Diamond series finds the San Francisco PI searching for the real killer of an unpopular local judge after one of Diamonds clients, an accomplished burglar having a very bad night, is fingered for the murder. Although the story is light on action and suspense, its comfort food for PI fans." -Booklist FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN1946502111 Author J.L.
