Banjo Boy

"Investigative reporter Eldon Larkin finds that he's a wagering man, in his latest adventure on Oregon's rainy, rustic South Coast." "All Eldon wants in life is a meaningful relationship, a reliable car, and time to go fly-fishing. But when a quarter-ton pimp is murdered with a shotgun, Eldon's editor assigns him the story. He must unravel the weird murder - with the help of a prostitute, a British gardener in cowboy boots, a gay piano player, and a cop who solves cases through dreams. Soon he's up to his neck in topiary, strip poker, and card-room intrigue as he tries to win the biggest bet of his life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
