Product Description:
"Acerbic . . . Original . . . Beinhart writes with considerable panache." The Philadelphia Inquirer
A Tony Cassella Mystery by the author of "You Get What You Pay For."
Tony Cassella is tired of being a private eye. He has a new baby. Soon he may even have a wife. And he's also in trouble with the IRS. So he's traded his trench coat for a quiet but profitable laundromat in the Austrian Alps.
But it's not so easy to retire. When the CIA comes calling, they want more than their shirts done. They want him to find a missing computer disc lost in an avalanche that killed a Japanese playboy and an American girl. A Japanese conglomerate soon appears on the scene with questions of their own. And the girl's mother is not far behind. Everybody wants Tony's help. Everybody, that is, except a few out-of-work East German spies. They want him dead . . .

- Oh, Larry, where art thou?
With this one I've finally gotten my grubby paws on the complete (published in book format and more or less fictional) works of Larry Beinhart. And I loved it so much (as usual) that now I'm heartbroken. There was no new book from Beinhart since mid-90s, and I miss them sorely. Re-reading is fun, in this case enormous fun, but I WANT MORE!
...OK, ad rem. Great book. Mother-in-law scenes galore, plus spooks, musclemen, Czech mafiosi and Japanese businessmen with all the manners of hungry sharks. And Tony Casella, who's so much one of a kind that you'd wish you were like him, even with the stuff he has to face in his life.
Buy it. Then go buy Beinhart's other novels. And weep like me, after you're done laughing.

- This guy is a GREAT writer
I read this book several years ago, and it is a crime in itself that the book is out of print. Tony Cassella is an engaging character, the plot is gripping AND it has a nifty "twist" such as you also find in American Hero. I certainly wish we were going to get more of this clever and believable detective, but I do understand that Mr. Beinhart has a living to make.
