Polo’s Wild Card

San Francisco private eye Nick Polo finds that there’s more than one wild card in the deck when a high-stakes poker game pushes him into the investigation of some stolen paintings. Soon Polo is in an alphabet soup of law enforcement agencies: FBI, SFPD, even Interpol, as he tries to track down the artwork for its owner, financier Claude Martel.

Complicating matters are Mattel’s oversexed wife, his vindictive daughter, a resentful son, and a crooked private detective. Polo’s job becomes more than just pleasing a client; he must recover the painting for the sake of his own skin. But can he do it before his luck runs out?
