Overview

"""Raw reality. A tough, taut writer. Saves a gut-punch for the climax."" - Washington Post. In the first book of Gores' razor-sharp Dan Kearny Associates series, a DKA investigator clings to life after a devastating car crash - was it simply a drunk driving accident or an attempted homicide? Now his colleagues have 72 hours to scour the back streets of the Bay Area to find the truth. This new edition includes a bonus DKA short story by the three-time Edgar Award-winning author. AUTHOR: Joe Gores (1931–2011) won Edgar Awards in three separate categories: Best First Novel, Best Short Story, and Best TV Series Segment. His many day jobs included truck driver, bodybuilding instructor, carny, and English teacher at a boys' school in Kenya as well as a dozen years as a private investigator in the San Francisco area. His work repossessing cars provided grist for the mill of his DKA series, making them - in the words of Ellery Queen - ""[as] authentic as a fist in your face."""
