• a beautiful Argentine dancer who tempts him sexually to kill someone for her…
• a tough, ambitious woman and Wall Street executive who loan shark money to gangsters…
• a dull, muscular heavy who kills for a boss who murders for the slightest offense…
• a smooth Argentine who hires Tower to find a lost WW II treasure for him…
• a high-ranking NYC police officer who hires Tower to help free him from an illegal arrangement…
• a hired killer and his sensuous wife…
• a life or death poker game between Tower and the casino’s killer/owner.
All three cases, the pickpocket’s freedom, finding the Argentine’s treasure and getting the police officer out of his predicament, rely on Tower’s finding the murdered body of the casino’s previous owner. It could be buried anywhere in NY, CT, NJ. An impossible task. Tower’s only hope finding it lies with a woman scientist who has developed an ingenious way to find buried bodies. If he succeeds, he earns a half-million-dollar bonus.
The three assignments are a running series of surprises until all three collide in a stunning mix of murder and resolution.
