Julie Beaumont is fifteen ... and missing. So when Michael Brennen, San Francisco pirvate eye, is hired to locate her, he thinks she's another runaway. Or it's a routine child support case. But then checks bounce, dead bodies accrue, philanthropists toss money around, high-price call girls flash winning smiles, and a US Senator throws herself into the fray, well, there's more trouble and intrigue than Brennen would have ever suspected. Let's not forget the kidnappings, the adultery, the back-room politics, and at least two incredibly screwed-up families. All those secrets must be revealed. From the author of COCAINE & BLUE EYES. MURDER IN WAIKIKI, JOHNNY CASINO, THE BLONDE ASSASSIN, and others. Cover photograph by Katherine Zackel.

Johnny Casino

By: Fred Zackel

Johnny Caine is a Great American Hero and JOHNNY CASINO is a Great American Novel.JOHNNY CASINO is a love story and a thriller. It's about Old Vegas and gangsters, toddlers and in-laws and terrorists, and the heartbreak and joys of Falling in Love, Getting Married, and Starting a Family. About Impossible Choices and Incredibly Dark Secrets. About Finding Courage and thus Finding Yourself. About Saving Your Family and maybe Saving even the World. Or at least Las Vegas.Johnny Caine is just twenty-three and a sweetheart of a guy. Happily married, he is a wonderful dad. He thinks he has a future in the hotel-casino industry, even if it is Mob-owned. But the glitzy, glamorous world he lives in no longer a safe place to raise a family.Johnny Caine thought the violent shooting deaths of his father and other bystanders was a cruel byproduct of some turf war among San Francisco's gangs. The drive-by killers didn't care who died amid the gunfire. But that night when Johnny is ducking bullets for a second time, he realizes he was the real target.Johnny suffers from synesthesia. A rare neurological "psychic gift" where his senses are all screwed up and his "conclusions" are all jumbled up. Johnny always knows where the cops are. All of them. How many cops there are and how fast they're approaching. A useless "psychic gift" to anybody but the Mob. To the Bovadiglia family of Las Vegas, Johnny Caine is their secret weapon keeping the cops and Feds at arm's length. Johnny Caine has been on their leash for nine years; he is also their Top Secret. Even as they have started taking him for granted.Back in Vegas Johnny discovers the killings are here, too. The Bovadiglia familia is being taken out one-by-one in the most unusual ways. The Mob thinks it's a turf war, too, that these killings just go with the territory, and "for now we got time to retaliate." But Johnny learns he can identify, even trail the killers by their particular auras. Like following a pretty girl who uses too much perfume. Or hating the cloud a cigarette smoker leaves behind in an elevator. He learns how these killings are part of a very personal vendetta, a most vicious political payback for the family's role with the CIA in Latin America. And he is terrified when he finds out why the killers have spotlighted him as one of them.Johnny Caine is no tough guy. He just is a clean-cut All-American kid. But he's watched and learned from the best of bad guys. So when his wife and child are kidnapped, he uses his synesthesia to go after the kidnappers alone.
