Publisher Description
A warehouse robbery pulls Mike Shayne into a daring international conspiracy
It’s been years since Mike Shayne last subjected himself to a stakeout. Miami’s most infamous private detective simply doesn’t have time to waste sitting in a car, drinking cold coffee and waiting for excitement that will never come. But the Acme Bonding Company is one of his oldest clients, and when his stand-in falls through, he’s obliged to keep watch himself.
A string of warehouse robberies, timed to coincide with hurricanes, has put Miami’s business community on the alert. So when a tropical storm closes in, Acme asks Shayne to keep a lookout for burglars. He waits with his pistol in hand.
The burglars enter the warehouse quietly, like professionals, but Shayne still sees them coming—and his trigger finger is itchy. A shootout leaves 1 burglar dead and the others on the lam. But when he searches the city for the rest of the gang, Shayne finds that Miami is about to get hit by something far deadlier than a tropical storm.
A Redhead for Mike Shayne is the 47th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
Customer Reviews
One of the worst Mike Shayne books
This is one of the later books in the series when “Brett Halliday” was just being used as a house name and the books were written by various authors. The first 2/3rds of the book goes along pretty well but they clearly ran out of ideas at the end. So they slapped on one of the worst half-arsed endings I’ve ever read in any mystery novel. It’s really obvious that the author just did not care at all.
