Life is good for Nick Kepler. The Cleveland-based private investigator gets free office space, secretarial help, and plenty of work from his former employers at an insurance company. It's a sweet deal until a manager gives him a couple of referrals. One is to a life insurance underwriter desperate to save his job. It seems the holder of a two-million dollar policy had a heart attack, putting the underwriter in danger of the unemployment line. Kepler thinks he can mail this one in, since the claims manager is ready to pay. That same day, the wife of a powerful attorney wants to know if her husband is being indiscreet. She's concerned about his political ambitions, which doesn't sit well with Kepler. He doesn't do political cases. He takes the case, though, since the client offers a larger-than-usual fee for his time. A simple cheating spouse case and a quick background check, right? Wrong. In Northcoast Shakedown, Kepler finds himself in the middle of something much more complex and dangerous than he anticipated. The two cases become intertwined, with consequences reaching into local political circles, management at Kepler's former company, and to the seedy underside of Cleveland.
Lists addresses and information on contacts, pay rates, and submission requirements, and includes essays on the craft of writing.
