Mike Dalmas left Special Forces and
came back home to spend time with his family. Things didn’t go as planned. These
days he works for his father-in-law’s car dealership selling cars. That is when
he isn’t doing the occasional black bag job for the Bay City Police Department.
Sometimes they need a fixer or troubleshooter to clean up a problem and they
have the leverage on Mike Dalmas to get the job done.
One such problem has arisen and
Carver has come to the dealership to give him his latest assignment. A week ago
two officers arrested a known gangbanger. During the arrest things went very
badly for one Lex Marcus and his days of being a bad guy are permanently over. The
cops thought they had covered up things, but the incident was videotaped. Now
somebody wants four hundred thousand dollars or they will release the tape. The
cops know who sent the blackmail threat and have traced it back. The cops want
Mike Dalmas to visit the blackmailer and get all the copies of the video while
making sure this will never be a problem again.
Considering the blackmail the cops
are using again Dalmas there is a certain amount of irony in him being tasked
to stop their blackmailer. As expected that mission is proves to be far more
complicated than anyone involved wanted in Riot: A Mike Dalmas Short Story. A complicated
and good tale marred several times by typos and missing words. Part of a series
featuring Mike Dalmas, former Special Forces soldier, it is a good tale despite
the aforementioned issues.
