Product Description

Ingram

Jack Baddalach is back and he's got a job to do: escort a Chihuahua named Spike across the desert from Palm Springs to Las Vegas. But this isn't just any Chihuahua. Spike is under the protection of Freddie Gemignani, the shady casino owner who pays Jack's check. When Spike is dognapped by a band of machine-gunning women in black leather, Jack knows there has to be something bigger at stake. .

(...) I bought this for the cover art and what a surprise.
The Characters leap off the page and smash you right in the face. If anything should be made into a film it should be this. Tarrentino, Soderburgh, if you guys are listening or reading. George Cloony as Jack Baddalach. Please someone with some cash MAKE THIS MOVIE. Norman write another NOW!!!!!!!!

Readers who enjoy Carl Hiaasen, Ross Thomas or Elmore Leonard are bound to enjoy the work of Norman Partridge. His hero, former light-heavyweight champion and mob hanger-on, Jack Baddalach is assigned the unusual courier job of delivering an asthmatic chihuahua across the desert. He encounters a group of leathered up beauties with some very bad intentions and it just gets weirder from there. This is a good read but I would recommend reading 'Saguaro Riptide' first. Mr. Partridge is a worthy addition to the aforementioned writers.

Fun to read but very light entertainment. A good book for the beach but don't expect to remember it after you have finished.
