The Bookie — Guy Verreault

No one saw anyone or heard a sound when the body of Louis ‘The Snake' Billings, the number one bookie in Hollywood, was dropped on the floor, smack in the middle of Jacob Schreiber's office. Law enforcement agencies believed Tony Padilla had snuffed out Louis Billings. Jacob Schreiber did not. Could he prove it? Information from a former client helps Jacob uncover a national security flaw. The FBI and the private eye bring an end to the smuggling of military weapons to foreign agents. As a little league coach, Jacob finds that time spent with children always brings him back to the real values of life. A young mother with a 9-year-old son leads him to the beginning of a romance that would not last. Being a former Marine, Jacob Schreiber never gives up. He solves crimes in a way that makes him friends on one side and many enemies on the other.
