Too Many Irons - Large Print Edition Dennis E Smirl

Sandeen wasn't looking for a new book to write. Amanda Carter, his main squeeze, had driven off into the sunrise and he's more than a little down, wondering where she's gone and if she'll be back. Before he can get a handle on that, an old flame named Tamara Langford shows up with a problem. Her girlfriend has gone missing. Sandeen agrees to help Langford, but before he can, someone murders her. Then Amanda calls him with news she's been carjacked and shot in Roanoke, Virginia, and asks if she can come home. Before he can bring Amanda home, Sandeen's best friend, Mark Simmons, tells him that their take on an old incident is completely wrong. Their friend, Elaine McClelland, was the victim of a murder, not a fatal accident and the person who set up her murder may be looking for a way to get Sandeen. As he helps Amanda Carter heal her wounds and get her life together, Sandeen learns that both she and he have bounties on their heads, and idiots with guns are trying to collect-dead or alive. In trying to protect himself and Amanda he approaches a point of overly proactive self-defense, a point that could lead to life-long incarceration or even his own demise. Sandeen has too many irons in the fire, and every step he takes is just making things worse.
