Devlin Haskell, is not your well dressed, well heeled, fancy-pants
private investigator. He has no office and no office phone. He doesn't
have a buffed bodyguard and side-kick like Spenser. What this P.I. does
have is street smarts, a rogue's wandering eye for the ladies, a little
too much to drink and a very intriguing case. Dev, as he's known to his
friends, finds himself interested and not always in the professional
way, when he is approached by a sexy redheaded tootsie hoping to find
her sister. And she's got what Dev assumes is a French accent, making
her all the more mouth-watering to him. Mike Faricy's
Russian Roulette
is a fun, smart and sexy romp to figure out who the tootsie is and why
she wants to find her "sister" who isn't her sister. Dev finds himself
involved in a human trafficking ring by the Russian mob, who are none to
thrilled to have him poking his nose where it doesn't belong. Along the
way, our intrepid hero finds himself on the receiving end of some nasty
fights where he generally isn't the winner, meets up with an
anal-retentive FBI agent out to make a name for himself, and an ICE
agent who seems to want to do the right thing by Dev and the victims in
his case.
Faricy has put together a well written,
taut, fun ride through Dev Haskell's case, complete with a few twists and
turns. It's like riding on a roller coaster - you're enjoying yourself,
screaming at what you know is sure to happen but scared of what's up
ahead. This was one thrilling ride and a highly recommended good time
for all.
