Miami Mayhem

By Marvin Albert.

Filmed as Tony Rome (1967), directed by Gordon Douglas.

Published 1960.
Published by Fawcett.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0449133869
ISBN-13: 978-0449133866

Description:

Miami. The city.
Rome. The man.

He’s a hard-living, hard-loving private detective, who’s been muscling through Miami’s vice longer than any punk in a baggy suit. He gets his fill of offers from women. But the brand of cruising he prefers is aboard his luxury power boat, the Straight Pass. The roads of pleasure and danger are many. But all the roads lead to Rome….

Filmed as "Tony Rome" in 1967. Then released as "Tony Rome"(1967) by the author based on the film script. It seemed a routine little job.... Just return a high-flying heiress to her worried papa. But some of a man's worst messes start out as routine little jobs. This one really hits the pedal, with a body on the floor of Tony's office, the head smashed by a bullet. The bait to catch the filler: a daisy-shaped, gold-and-diamond pin that couldn't bring enough to be worth anybody's trouble. Or worth murdering for...
