What happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force? For Joe Caruso, hard-boiled, Chicago private detective, the combustion is filled with murder, deceit, and betrayal. When Eddie Fudge, Caruso's ex-partner is found dead in the Chicago River, and Caruso's detective business is "drying up like a grass lawn in heat", he gets a mysterious visit from a kid wearing a pair of rabbit ears. A blue envelope, steeped in jasmine perfume and a fifty-dollar bill, asks Caruso to go to the Ambassador East Hotel and is signed with the initials SL. Hired by the sultry Savannah Leopard to find her sister and a valued family necklace Caruso finds himself deeper into the fire than he bargained for. He soon discovers a big-bucks, cover-up scheme and a cast of rogue characters that will stop at nothing to get what they want. So begins a web of suspense and drama that leads the reader into the underbelly of Chicago in the 60's. Filled with plot twists, despicable, yet charming characters, and a tinge of romance, It Only Takes One Bullet asks the reader, can an irresistible force be strong enough to change the mind of Joe Caruso?
