Strip Search: A Gabe Wager Mystery - Hardcover

"The seemingly motiveless and unconnected slaying of two strip-tease dancers lead Denver detective Gabe Wager into the seedy underworld of the city centered along the "strip," where topless bars, all-night restaurants, and a furtive street life are the rule. Gabe decides to tackle the case on his own and disguises himself as a drug dealer to penetrate this underworld and its secrets. As Wager becomes immersed in the subculture, he finds he has also become a target for the murderer, who wants Wager dead because he's asked too many questions."

"This is Gabe Wager at his best. There is a dark richness here that fulfills all of Rex Burns's continuing promise." --Robert B. Parker

"It's great stuff, and you won't want to miss it." --Denver Post
