Glass Shadow - by Cashton Anthony Byns (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Glass Shadow" follows thirty-year-old Nico Conte, whose only worries are rent and when the next casino session is. Until an alluring drifter named Rita November rolls into town in need of someone to keep her company. She coaxes Nico to take her on a quick getaway. But soon they stumble across an infamous film prop that would change their lives forever if they got their hands on it. However, their attempt goes awry and they're forced to go on the lam.

In California, riding the coattails of his illustrious career, is private eye Hans Der Hund Hahn, who's assigned to handle the case of the missing film prop. He's livid. And someone's going to pay. With his perfect track record and secondary career on the line, he will use his ruthlessness and unorthodox tactics to hunt down the culprits and return the prop to its owner.

The manhunt propels Nico and Rita through the Pacific Northwest and eventually into Vancouver, Canada, where they plunge into the criminal underworld. As the clock ticks, enemies expand, and Hahn closes in, Nico and Rita's road to a clean break starts to crack. And it'll take everything and more just to survive.
