South Beach ShakedownThe Diary of Gideon Pike

The Mick Sever Music #1 / 3

South Beach Shakedown: The Diary of Gideon Pike (The Mick Sever Music #1) by Don Bruns
Unrated

Someone is about to make a killing in the music industry. Why would songwriting legend Gideon Pike disappear just as his 30-year career turns a multimillion-dollar profit?

Music columnist Mick Sever goes looking for his missing friend Gideon Pike in the gritty backrooms of Miami's nightclubs, dodging suicide speedboats and running from sniper fire. What surfaces is how the major players in the music industry are not making the headlines, but just pulling the strings that create them.

Hit it right, and the royalties, even someone else's, can rake in millions for the rest of your life. The key is finding Gideon before Korean mobster Jimmy Shinn does. Jimmy is ready to cash in on the one secret that will strip away what's left of Gideon's career, his fortune, and his life.

Whoever gets to Gideon first will either save him or pull the trigger, and the race is on.
