It's another heartwarming episode in the lives of our two favorite wise guys, Nick and Jimmy, who made it through with only a few scratches in , the first book in the series. hit the top of Amazon's Best Seller List for Hardboiled Mystery in June 2021. "Fast-moving book that keeps you turning the pages to follow along with the main character, a connected guy from Chicago, while he hunts for the 2 million bucks. The author has plenty of great dialogue and plot twists that keep you guessing on what's going to happen next. You won't win those bets, but you will get a great payoff in the end. Great read. You will enjoy it." -- D.F. Dempster, Reviewer. "I found the book very entertaining, being from start to finish a pleasure to read. Mr. Pace rolls out a tightly weaved plot filled to the gills with colorful characters, places, and things. It is a very creative and busy novel that accomplishes what many novels don't. It never hits one false note. Through all the wild twists and crazy developments you're introduced to, the reader can feel confident that all is safe in the hands of a master storyteller. This comes across page after page until the author folds all the pieces together, giving the story a very satisfying ending. This isn't my normal genre, but happy that I checked it out. I'm left curious to check out Mr. Pace's other works." -- Dave Fouts, Reviewer
