This title in other formats:The Angel Gang: A Hickey Family Mysteryby Ken Kuhlken
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:It is the winter of 1949: Tom and Wendy Hickey are at peace in their Lake Tahoe cabin awaiting the birth of their first child. Wendy is young and delicate and her unworldly innocence and faith in her "angels" provide her with a stronger shield against evil than Tom's devotion and the gun he sometimes carries. Review:As the final third of a trilogy, this title's plot belongs to a larger whole: it continues the story of post-World War II P.I. Tom Hickey (The Venus Deal, St. Martin's, 1993). At the insistence of his pregnant and vulnerable young wife, Hickey leaves his Lake Tahoe cabin to help a scrappy San Diego singer accused of killing her brother-in-law. Anxious to resolve the case, Hickey brashly antagonizes rival mobsters, one of whom apparently kidnaps his wife to get even. A nicely orchestrated rescue set in simpler times, with sturdy prose, nonstop action, and steady suspense. Recommended. --Library Journal About the AuthorKen Kuhlken is a compulsive storyteller who drifted from his home in the southwest to the University of Iowa to study in its Writers' Workshop. When he finished with that place and soon published a story in ESQUIRE, he believed he was golden. But the world proved to be a rougher arena than he'd foreseen, and he began teaching writing at colleges. He drifted through eight of them, and at last founded one. Meantime, he fathered three amazing children, did three years as a newspaper columnist, and never stopped writing stories and novels.
