Deadly Obsessions (Jake Bodine Novels)

By William E. Dempsey

Discovery of the nude body of a young woman along a remote county road became the lead TV story on the area's eleven o'clock news. It also triggered an urgent call to Orlando, Florida, Private Investigator Jake Bodine. The owner of a Daytona Beach gentlemen's club has a problem: his dancers have been disappearing, and he wants them found without involving the police or any publicity. The body proves to be one of the missing girls, the first victim in one of the veteran PI's most bizarre cases.Jake and his crew immediately began an investigation. Searching the condo of one of the missing girls, they find a mysterious message on her phone, and a crumpled scrap of paper with a scribbled phone number. The number proves to be the Desert Inn Casino in Las Vegas, and Jake dispatches investigator Jorge Hernandez to track down the girl.Meanwhile, some hired thugs attempt to scare Jake off the case, but they have sorely misjudged their opponent. Jake dusts them off and zeros in on the crime boss who has the temerity to pull a pistol on him. The antagonists up the ante, sending in an assassin. The bodies accumulate as the search for victims and perpetrators continues. The twin obsessions of sex and money prove deadly to those afflicted.
