Manila Time by Jack Trolley
The second Tommy Donahoo adventure. “The action explodes. Donahoo continues to be an appealingly clumsy hero, a welcome change from the usual tough, icily sarcastic police protagonist.” Publishers Weekly
A tough, San Diego cop witnesses a murder… but instead of arresting the killer, he blackmails him for a million dollars. But before the payoff can be made, the cop is killed in a shoot-out in another case and the killer goes to the dead mans partner, Detective Sergeant Tommy Donahoo, to honor the deal. The problem is, Donahoo knows nothing about it. And that’s only the beginning of Donahoo’s problems in this outrageous, deadly, darkly funny thriller.
