Buckley has a new case when old college friend, Jesse Springer, needs his help. He is being blackmailed over revealing photographs that he doesn't remember being taken. Unfortunately I had no sympathy for his predicament and for me there were too many unlikable people, added to the various threats of violence the story wasn't really for me. ( )

Jesse is an egocentric Rich guy who is being blackmailed after visiting a local strip club which is owned by the local crime boss. The only problem Jesse doesn't remember ever visiting it even after a mess of explicit photo's arrive in the mail. He panics and hires his college buddy who is a meverick P.I Evan Buckley to investigate. Nothing is what it seems when he heads down to Louisville home of the Kentucky Derby. Where he finds its not all mint Juleps and southern charm. He finds himself caught up in a lethal game of double-crossing pain and blood shed. Mean while Jesse is getting scared one of the photos is missing and he thinks his wife might have found it.Jesse decides to confront the black mailers himself making Evans job even harder as the bodies pile up Evan is forced to chose between his gut instinct and the evidence. All he knows is one wrong step could be his last!! A truly fantastic read plenty of action . I look forward to reading more books by James Harper ( )
