Mink Eyes (softcover)

Description

It is October 1986. Battered Viet Nam vet and recovering drug addict, Private Detective Peter O’Keefe, is hired to investigate what appears to be just a rinky-dink mink farm Ponzi scam. But O’Keefe stumbles instead into a vicious web—of money laundering, cocaine smuggling, and murder—woven by the mysterious mobster known as “Mr. Canada.” Trapped in Mr. Canada’s web is the exquisite Tag Parker, who just might be the girl of O’Keefe’s dreams—or his nightmares. The novel poignantly captures the Baby Boomers in a moment of decisive transition—from flower children to yuppies—as the high ideals of their youth morph into an adulthood of empty materialism. This is serious fiction wrapped in the cloak of a detective novel. This book has it all—sex, terror, murder, addiction, obsession, crime, and doom, yes—but also friendship, fatherhood, ideals, integrity, duty, self-sacrifice, and love.
