Synopsis

Chicago Private Eye Joe Kozmarski is tired of blood and bullets. So when Judge Rifkin, a man who double-crossed Joe's father, asks him to spend a day fishing, he reluctantly agrees. He is curious to see what the judge wants of him and it's safe to say he's not very interested in fishing.The Judge has more than trout and a twelve pack on his mind. The police suspect the Judge's assistant Bob Piedras of killing his lover, a Vietamese beauty with a taste for hard liquor, drugs, and stripping in front of a camera. Soon Koz Marski is hunting for the real killer with the unwanted help of the woman's two thuggish brothers and his own eleven-year-old nephew. Then the Judge is murdered; and Bob Piedras disappears. Joe should know better than to expect a day off. The latest winner in the esteemed Best First Private Eye Novel Contest, "The Last Striptease" twists and turns in all the right ways.
