Miles Jacoby Mystery #5

by Robert J. Randisi

Jerry Meyer brings a cheesecake postcard to private eye Miles Jacoby, claiming the well-built model is his missing wife. A case of find-the-woman turns into much more, as Jacoby--a lifelong New Yorker way out of his element--uncovers murder and contraband in Florida. Says "Each of Randisi's novels is better than its entertaining predecessor." With a new Afterword by the author.
