Drawn into the Smoke

Casey Stone, New York City P.I., is torn between loyalty to his WWII buddy in Manhattan who is in trouble with thugs in a protection racket and his secretary, Chiquita, whose family in Tampa is also in trouble.

The uncle who raised Chiquita is renowned for the best hand-rolled cigars in Tampa. The stock of Cuban tobacco he bought just before the embargo in 1959 in now worth its weight in gold and there are men who would do anything to get it.

Hot babes, murderous crazies, warring gangs, women scorned--even without his New York contacts and back-up, Casey is Drawn into the Smoke.
