TIMOTHY'S GAME by Lawrence Sanders

Timothy Cone is not a smooth man. In fact, he's a scrawny, scruffy, chain-smoking, junk-food-stained disgrace. In his barely furnished, hardly ever cleaned, lower Broadway loft, he and Cleo, his live-in, neutered tomcat, exist on take-aways and leftovers.

Yet many of the people he deals with are very smooth indeed. For Timothy is also the smartest, toughest, most persistent private investigator around, working for an off-Wall Street outfit that provides financial intelligence for corporate and individual clients. He moves in a world of stock market scams, insurance fraud, commercial espionage and legit business fronts for laundered Mob money.

So beneath the smooth manners and the expense-account veneer are some very rough customers indeed. People who will kill to win in a world where greed rules.

Soft cover, fairly good condition. The cover shows minor signs of wear. Slight foxing.
