Sins Of The Sister — Jack Terry

Just because the latest dead body to turn up in Key West is a Russian, it doesn't mean there's a connection to Tricky Dick. Or does it?Hoping to slip back to his hard-earned retirement, thanks to his old boss leaving town and Scooter's killer being taken care of, Tricky Dick instead gets thrust back into the middle of the action, thanks to a murdered Russian stripper being found hidden in the hammocks. The new chief of police, a wary ally of Tricky's, tries to enlist his help. When he proves reticent to “officially” offer his assistance, a suspicious eye gets cast on him, ultimately resulting in his being arrested for the murder of another person.The entire time, Tricky has been involved, working with the victim's sister to trace the path of dirty money, small-time thugs, a Russian mole inside the military, and a mysterious contract still out on his life. Convinced it is not only all tied to together but somehow involving him, he tracks down the ringleader for the murder. But the bombshell he drops on Tricky at the end makes him question what he thought he knew about the only person he has managed to care about."Sins Of The Sister" is the seventh novel in the Tricky Dick Key West Mystery series. Picking up where the last one left off, it also serves as an introduction to new readers the world Tricky Dick lives in. Like Key West itself, these novels are a little sexy, a little sketchy, a little fun and a little dangerous. Anyone familiar with the island will recognize the various locations where the action takes place, and action it is: all of the events unfold in a matter of a few days, from the discovery of the victim to the capture of the persons responsible. A perfect escapist read, it will transfer the reader to the warmth of the tropics.
