A three year hustle...a brutal murder...life in the fast lane.

“Fast Eddie” Yeldon is a professional gambler. He’s a pool shark, an ace poker player, and a scratch golfer. He’s one of those affable good old boys you can’t help but like – even when he’s pocketing the money he just won from you.

But Eddie’s world gets flipped upside down when he returns from a gambling junket to find a dead guy on the pool table in his condo. He has a broken-off pool cue sticking out of his chest and a nine-ball crammed in his mouth. And he bears a striking resemblance to Fast Eddie.

Is this a case of mistaken identity or is someone sending Eddie a message?

Alec signs on to protect him for a couple of weeks – long enough to play in a nine-ball tournament. Once the tournament is over, Eddie can duck out of town, but not before. This is the culmination of a three-year hustle he’s been working. He has too much invested to bail on it now.

Detective Emma Radcliffe is investigating the murder. But Eddie isn’t totally forthcoming. Meanwhile, Alec’s task of keeping Eddie alive gets more challenging as ruthless people become concerned over what he may know about their criminal activities.

A page-turner with lots of plot twists and turns that will keep you entertained from beginning to end, Fast Eddie is the third book in the Alec Stover mystery series.
