Miles Jacoby misses his days in the boxing ring and wonders--after a humiliating confrontation with a prosecutor--whether he's qualified to work as a private investigator. Two cases have landed in his lap, and neither is going anywhere. One involves a mob boss accused of murder. The other brings Miles together with a dead private eye's sultry widow. In the shadows--a figure who's ready to cancel both their tickets. Said Elmore Leonard of the debut Jacoby novel: "If [it] moved any faster you'd have to nail it down to read it." With a new Afterword by the author.

Life's good for Miles Jacoby: He's just been offered a partnership in a major investigatory agency in New York, his Village bar is becoming a popular watering hole, and he's got two cases. First, he's hired to find out who stole Stan Waldrop's act - literally. The standup comic's new routine was on Waldrop's hard disk. Now it isn't. Soon, Waldrop isn't standing up, either. At the same time, a murder suspect is playing dumb - being a stand-up guy and refusing to name names. Jacoby knows who isn't being named and has to find him before the name shows up in the obits. Well, maybe life isn't all that good: These are not the cases that dreams are made of. They're dirty and deadly and the bread-and-butter of life on the mean streets - even those with comedy clubs on every corner.
