Wake Up and Die

A DIRTY CASE FROM THE BEGINNING... The quiet community of Sausalito is the site of a glittering new hotel complex. But Peter Bragg, work-ing on a blackmail case in the area, senses some-thing else simmering beneath the ocean-kissed beachfront. Residents are being "persuaded" to give up their homes to the developers. The means of persuasion? Arson, torture, and murder. And when the blackmail case blows up in his face literally he knows he's onto something big. A street-smart black lady, a very friendly cock-tail waitress, a poor little rich girl, and an army of hardcases who enjoy making ground beef of nosy detectives...Bragg smells a conspiracy so immense that his own life isn't worth a paper dollar if he doesn't bring the criminals to justice. And if any-body can, Bragg will.
