Murder on the Rocks — L.V. Slyke

A STIFF SHOT OF MURDER--NEAT

When a red-hot joint called "Barmy's" turned ice cold, a bartender named Bally was left with some good memories, some bad debts ... and a solid reputation as a guy who can get things done.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it hasn't killed Max Bally ...yet. And now he has agreed to help a small-change Big Apple drug dealer locate missing ex-model Bev Knapp. But the chase is leading the inquisitive barkeep into a shady world of yuppie burnouts in Armani suits, sex for sale ... and psycho mob shooters who don't appreciate questions. And Bally is about to discover too late that the lost lady's trail is leading him to a killer ... who is turning a very evil eye toward Max.
