Something for Nothing

Summary

For Jack Hagee, the enemy lines are drawn between Chinatown and City Hall’s backrooms.

In the second bare-knuckle thriller in the Jack Hagee series, a killer stalks the streets of New York. The police call him “The Outliner.” His first three victims were outlined in white chalk. The fourth in blue, the fifth in pink—with roses.

Meanwhile, in Chinatown, a vicious street gang demands “tribute” from one of Jack Hagee’s clients. Big mistake on their part, and maybe Hagee’s, as well.

C. J. Henderson was a virtuoso in the field of hardboiled fiction, and Jake Hagee’s cases show him writing at his sharpest, toughest, and most cynical. Jack Hagee is a unique character in hardboiled fiction. Tall, tough, and honest, he struggles against a dark and bitter world.
