The IRS is on his tail, so Tany Cassella is on the run . . .

Facing prison for tax violations, private detective Tony Cassella flees the IRS and heads for the Alps, where he becomes the owner of the only Laundromat in a chic Austrian ski town. A few weeks after his French lover gives birth to a baby girl, Cassella the laundry-magnate gets a job offer that could finally set things right back home.

An American teen and a Japanese businessman have been killed in a freak avalanche, and the dead girl's mother wants Cassella to find out why her daughter died. The Japanese man was carrying a disk whose contents are of great interest to the CIA, and returning it to Langley could mean the end of Cassella's IRS headache. To find the disk, he must confront a global network of killers, thieves, and retired spies. Quickly in over his head, Cassella realizes that to survive in this world of international intrigue, he will have to do much more than wash, fold, and ski.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Larry Beinhart including rare images from the author's personal collection.

      In this sparkling international escapade, Beinhart ( No One Rides for Free ) adds a brilliant new dimension to his wisecracking PI from Brooklyn, Tony Casella. Now running a laundromat in the Austrian ski resort of St. Anton, Tony is hiding from the IRS--who were tipped off by the political powers he outwitted in his last adventure. When an American girl and a Japanese mogul are killed in an avalanche, the girl's mother persuades Tony to investigate. Events snowball; Tony is threatened by CIA agents and coerced by a Japanese conglomerate to find a computer disk missing from the mogul's effects. Going underground might save Tony from these establishment bullies, but he refuses to abandon his lover and their newborn daughter. The hunt for the disk leads him on a wild trek through Austria and Eastern bloc countries, his would-be employers in close pursuit. This witty, near-perfect caper makes merry with European cuisines, customs, currencies and politics.
