by Richard Newhafer ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 18, 1968
Mr. Newhafer writes with just about as much turbulence as his Hurricane Margo, stewing somewhere in the Atlantic here while landside everything is just as disturbed. A Palm Beach cop is planning a million dollar heist (mob money) with two old army buddies; a millionaire's junkie daughter has disappeared; a top heavy dissipated mother is scheming to get some of her impotent husband's eight million dollar inheritance obstructed by her cantankerous mother-in-law; and an ancient alcoholic is trying to barter a silver slipper into a bottle of port. Everything ties in, inevitably, in a king-sized man's story complete with a wild gambit on the gaming tables, an into-the-eye-of-the-storm rescue, and a murder. It'll carry the unthinking man along.
