Uptown Quicksand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692635254)

R.T. Graves aims to be the most dispassionate private detective in New York. With few scruples, fewer friends, a dwindling business and swelling debts, he's close to hitting his mark before an excommunicated uptown heiress commissions Graves to find her estranged brother. Complications arise steadily. And Graves steps into a perilous ring of assaults, robberies, kidnappings, murders and general mayhem. Graves tries to stay a step ahead and a drink behind, but never quite manages to handle everything thrown at him. Impatient bookies, revenge seeking junkies, shipping moguls, gossiping designers, ex-wives, first dates, drug kingpins, pissed off police detectives, a deadly chauffeur, and an elusive client are all on the cusp of pulling him under. Things get grim before they get grimmer. And yet Graves lives to tell you the tale in... UPTOWN QUICKSAND.
