My Kind of Game
By Marvin Albert.
Published by Fawcett.
First published 1962.
Mass Market Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0449133885
ISBN-13: 978-0449133880
Description:
WANTED – Anyone with information about Louis Kovac may find
it worth-while to get in touch with Anthony Rome at the Seaview Motel. Kovac
met with an accident. His assignment will be completed by Rome.
The ad was Rome’s last hope, a stab-in-the-dark that
someone might spill who had it in for Lou Kovac, and why.
Rome didn’t expect an immediate answer. He wasn’t ready to
get it in his motel room, in person, from a beautiful girl, pointing a very
loaded .32.
A new, trigger-sharp case in the fast, bullet-scarred
career of detective Anthony Rome.
My Kind of Game.
