He's expecting a quiet, maybe boring, assignment as a bodyguard. Of course, performing guard duty is a job no self-respecting shamus wants to take on. But Sid's never been to Las Vegas, and this job is going to be extremely lucrative. The body belongs to Alva, the wise-beyond-her-years daughter of Irving Shapiro, owner of the Desert Fox Night Club and Casino. Only the beautiful Alva has a sharp tongue, and the hots for anything in pants, and soon the term bodyguard takes on a whole new meaning.And now the notorious mobster, Bugsy Siegel, wants the Desert Fox property to round out what will become the world-famous Pink Flamingo Casino and Hotel. Street soon finds himself right in the middle of 1940s Vegas-style mayhem, including tough-guy tactics, kidnapping, and murder.The 1940s of Ross Macdonald and Dashiell Hammett live again, thanks to Sid Street, Private Detective. Sidney Alfonso Street is a combination of tough-guy muscle and a sharp mind, along with a wise-guy attitude that allows him to see the humor in his investigations. Sid and his partner, Casey Reilly, will deal with it all -- blackmail, kidnapping and...murder. But don't ever call him Sidney, he hates that name.Wayne A Walter's detective-series character, Sid Street, takes us along into mystery and danger, but still makes us laugh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne A.
