What if a total stranger gave you $95,000 in cash as he lay dying in the street? Do you keep it? Even after knowing who it really belongs to? Ex-private investigator Jack Barnett is handed such an envelope on a back street in Las Vegas. He needs the money, but as he learns more about it, he is drawn deeper into the world of a shady real estate mogul, whose reach extends all the way to a Texas border town, where bribery is the way things get done. HARD CASH is the second installment in Mike Dennis' Jack Barnett / Las Vegas Series, pulling the reader down the darkest streets of Sin City, USA. "Mike Dennis is a crafty writer and a huge asset to the world of PI fiction." -- SONS OF SPADE
