Shadows On Smoke

Ward Dundees last big case left him with a serious chest wound and brought back horrifying memories of his combat in Viet Nam. With alcohol as his medicine of choice , no clients to speak of, and mounting debts, Dundee finds himself circling the drain to oblivion. Finally, two female clients appear: one, an abrasive witch who insists he pursue a case of murder the Lakehurst police insist never took place; and the other, a scheming adulteress who embroils him in a murderous blackmail case. The leads Dundee uncovers reach all the way back to the Holocaust and that last ill-fated flight of the Hindenburg that put the town of Lakehurst on the map.
