The Last Striptease Michael Wiley

PI Joe Kozmarski has just been asked to clear his childhood friend Bob Piedras of murder. Bobs latest girlfriend, a young Vietnamese American beauty, has turned up dead in an airport hotel. No one is surprised; she had a taste for hard liquor, drugs, and stripping in front of a camera, and Bob has a history of violence. But Bobs boss, retired judge Peter Rifkin, is convinced Bob is innocent and thinks Joe can find the real killer. But Joes life is complicated. He hasnt spoken to Rifkin for fifteen years—ever since his father found out the judge had double-crossed him. The dead womans brothers, two tough guys, are bent on being the first to find and punish her murderer. Plus, Joe and his wife are separated, and his mother has dropped his young nephew on him. But the more obstacles Joe encounters, the more determined he becomes to see this case through.
