Fever

Bok av Bill Pronzini
Nameless had told Mitchell Krochek that he?d do whatever he could to find his missing wife, Janice. She?d run away before?propelled by a gambling fever that grew ever higher?and Mitch had always taken her back. This time, when Nameless, his partner Tamara, and the agency?s chief operative Jake Runyon finally found her in a sleazy San Francisco hotel, she demanded a divorce. A few days later, a beaten and bloody Janice stumbled into the agency begging to go home. No one is surprised when, soon after her homecoming, she disappears again. But gambling addiction has a way of twisting things, and the blood on Mitchell and Janice Krochek?s kitchen floor was a card off the bottom of the deck. Janice is missing again, Mitchell is the prime suspect, and as Nameless searches for the truth behind her disappearance, he uncovers a vicious racket that preys on gambling fever victims?
