The Dead-End Option
(1980)(The second book in the Harry Gould Thriller series)
A novel by Raymond Obstfeld
"A talent worth investigating. There's a satiric bite to his work." - Ross MacDonald
Harry's found himself a nice quiet sort of job . . . enforcing the No Smoking regulation at an "art theater." Certainly not the type of place where you'd expect to find a dead body sitting up front. Or $200,000 in negotiable bonds stuffed behind the seat.
That kind of money can be tempting, especially for a small-time crook trying to go straight, and the thought of taking off with the loot does pass through Harry's mind. Trouble is, several other people seem to have the same idea, including a crooked cop and even Harry's own true love - the beautiful Vicki.
Harry Gould has a special knack for being in the wrong place at the right time and a healthy respect for men who chase him with guns. But sometimes he comes out ahead . . .
Raymond Obstfeld is a novelist, poet and screenwriter. With more than twenty-five published novels in the mystery, suspense and western genres, he has created and written three successful series as well as having written for two other series.
