In Hammer Locke, Barnao introduces us to an extraordinary detective, Locke Hammer. Locke is an ex-convict and recovering alcoholic who has dedicated himself to solving crimes, even if it means working outside the law. When a young woman is brutally murdered, Locke is the only one who can find her killer. Locke's unorthodox methods and refusal to give up on the case bring him into conflict with the police, but he never backs down from a challenge. This fast-paced mystery will keep you guessing until the very end.; 8vo; 215 pages.
