The Yacht People [Paperback]

Michael Hemmingson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 2008

Crime noir, porn noir, gumshoes, strippers, pornographers, thugs, sex slaves, the mob, the rich, the vainglorious, Aruba, gun runners, international terrorists, murder, mayhem, and runaway teen beauties caught up in the seedy life of the Los Angeles adult entertainment industry…. A retired private eye living on a small boat in the San Diego marina has no idea what’s in store for him on the night he leaves the yacht club with a married woman -- only to wake up to extortion, murder, and kinky sex . . . the games the very rich and their million-dollar yachts like to play. What the hell, he's in for the game! It's not like this nasty gumshoe has anything else do to. . . . All he wants is a few drinks, some fun in the sun, and to be left alone to live a quiet life. But that never seems to happen to a private dick -- does it?
