About the book


An outlaw private eye meets a woman who has a horribly-blackened eye and offers to do something about it.

Unlicensed outlaw private eye Joe Beck stops off at bar in Trinidad, Colorado. Inside, he meets a woman named Brandi, a brunette bombshell who's working behind the bar. She's slim, tanned and attractive. She has it all. Except, her left eye is horribly blackened, something she admits to having been caused by the hand of an abusive ex-boyfriend.

Beck offers to deal with the guy, no questions asked in a move that sees him sucked into the dealings of a couple of crooked cops and a local outlaw biker gang.

What's going on in Trinidad? And will the guy Joe Beck is after get the comeuppance he deserves?
