About This Book

Hugo Bishop
He's not a cop, nor a private eye. He simply shows up to help. He's the figure at the edge of the floodlights as a body is pulled from the river. He's the brilliant fashion plate who knocks elbows with psychopaths. Wielding a pungent sense of humor, he pursues danger in an arena of exotic intrigues and deadly pleasures. In ishop's high-risk world, "The only thing worth going for is checkmate."

Bishop In Check
On a dismal, rainy night, Hugo Bishop's Rolls is sideswiped by a limo that plunges over a ravine, killing the driver, one David Brian. Out of the mists of mystery comes siren Melody Carr, the dead man's lover, another man's fiancee, and another woman's competition. Suddenly Bishop, and his assistant Vera Gorringe, are caught in check, ensnared in a game of tactical passions and murderous gamesmanship destined for checkmate - the final, inescapable, and unfathomably shocking solution.
