HIS NAME IS MICK AXBREWDER. HE'S THE MAN WHO RISKED HIS PARTNER, BUT HE DID IT FOR A GOOD REASON. TO SAVE HER LIFE.
Her name is Ginny Fistoulari, head of Fistoulari Investigations. He thinks she's gorgeous. Everybody thinks she's got a bad temper. He pushed her out on a limb because she was ready to call it quits - to give up on business, life, whatever.
He insisted that they be Reg Haskell's bodyguards, even though Haskell had a gambler's eyes and a lady-killer's smile. Even though people kept taking shots at Brew with all kinds of artillery - shot guns, M-16's, even a .38 or two for good measure. And even though there was only one person who was more likely to get killed than he was.
His partner. But he insisted, because it was the only chance he had to get her going again. A chance so small most fools would have turned it down.
