Cancel the wedding— the groom is dead.
When a tycoon’s son is murdered the night before his wedding, the enraged and grief- stricken father offers investigator Dan Reno (that’s Reno, as in no problemo), a life-changing bounty to find the killer. Reno, nearly broke, figures he’s finally landed in the right place at the right time. It’s a nice thought, but when a band of crooked cops get … get involved, Reno finds himself not only earning every penny of his paycheck, but also fighting for his life.
Who committed the murder, and why? Which cops can he trust, if any? Haunted by his murdered father and a violent, hard drinking past, Reno wants no more blood on his hands. But a man’s got to make a living, and backing off is not in his DNA. Traversing the snowy alpine winter in the Sierras and the lonely deserts of Nevada, Reno must revert to his old ways to survive. Because the fat bounty won’t do him much good if he’s dead…

I didn’t like all the language, it was unnecessary.
A real thriller with twists and unexpected turns. It kept me reading. I couldn’t put it down.
I liked it very much
Loved this book! It was very well written and since I live in the area, I found it to be pretty accurate in the details. Dan is a great subject to read about. I look forward to the rest of the series!
This is the first book from Mr. Stanton that I have read, and i intend to read all of the others. I liked his fast-moving style and the characters. It kept me entertained . I read a lot, so that’s high praise for me.
Real page turner
Stopped reading after about 50 pages. Seems everybodyis a drug user.Even the GOOD guys!
Great read
This book was a little too hard-boiled and violent for my taste.
I really enjoyed it !
I really enjoyed this book and am looking for more
I know the area “Stateline” as it exists in reality at lake Tahoe. I liked the action and suspense and the detectiveness of this story. Sure some of the people were a bit too beautiful and pristine. But those folks are out there in Stateline with their 4 wheel drive raised suspension exposed genitalia trucks and the bubble boob blondes that …
Drugs. Drugs. And more drugs. Seemed this was the main focus of the book. I could not finish reading it.
Quick read, entertaining.
Didn’t care for this one.
I like the way Dan Reno solves a problem from pure intuition with no facts to go off of. Just reach out there and pull a rabbit out of the hat. Not a real challenge to read. Probably won’t buy another Dan Reno novel. I haven’t read anything else that Stanton has written
Well written & keeps your attention. Highly recommend if you like this kind of genre.
I have found a new author to follow. This book was a real escape from the daily grind. I really got into it very quickly and enjoyed it very much. Good read.
