Joe Sheldon 1 - Play It Cool

Productinformatie

For Joe Sheldon, life was easier when he only wrote about crime.

Once upon a time, former crime journalist Joe Sheldon reported on Miami's seedy underworld. But then he lost it all, and now he spends his days listening to vinyl records and sipping vodka cranberries while churning out fluff pieces for the local rag. The truth is, he's barely scraping by.

So when a smooth-talking bookie named Dickie Caldwell dangles an offer to make some extra cash tracking down a deadbeat gambler, Joe can't resist the taste of a better life. He knows getting tangled up in Dickie's world is bound to get dangerous. But he’d like to think he can handle it.

No sooner does Joe agree to the job, Dickie's girlfriend goes missing. A cryptic ransom note is left behind, and Joe starts poking around. But something about it doesn’t quite add up.

The more he digs, the more he uncovers, until he finds himself way in over his head.

Joe has no choice but to rely on every trick of the trade he's learned to survive this deadly game of cat and mouse.

The streets of Miami can be dangerous. One wrong step, and this crime writer will become tomorrow's headline.
