Although Colt remembers that his uncle once warned him that \"Only an idiot takes two cases at the same time,\" he nonetheless takes up the challenge. Along the way, there is yet another case involving the family of the powerful state governor, which he turns down, and yet cannot resist casually working on in the background. The result is fast-paced, suspenseful action that propels Colt through the Garden State, New York City, and all the way to California and Arizona. William Baer has outdone himself with this can't-put-down third installment of his critically acclaimed Jack Colt Murder Mystery Novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRAISE FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNEW JERSEY NOIR: BARNEGAT LIGHT\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Jack Colt, William Baer gives us a private detective perfectly suited for the Garden State: gritty, charming in spite of himself, sidesplittingly hilarious and incomparably authentic. Baer proves himself the Sinatra of Noir, the Edison of Intrigue, the Springsteen of Suspense-and a rightful heir to Hammett and Chandler.
