Stephen Buffalo was a small-time private investigator in Reno with a maximum commission of eight thousand dollars before he was hired to re-investigate a three-year-old unsolved case. A mysterious, beautiful woman knocks on his office door one morning, handing out manila envelopes -- two filled with a total sum of forty grand and one containing a bunch of love letters. In exchange for her anonymity and his services, the woman dumps the cash as her up-front payment, with more to come if Stephen does his job well. Intrigued and motivated by the enormous sum, Stephen begins his investigation and, before long, he finds himself drawn into a vast underworld where money definitely is king. He follows the trail down to brothels, casinos, cult religions and lairs of corrupt public officials. With perfect timing, his inner demons also join in the swirling mosh pit of events.
Filled with an exhilarating system of twists and turns that lead to a surprising denouement, Pure River....Dark Hearts is a thrilling read that murder and crime mystery readers will definitely enjoy. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
