Hit on the House - Softcover
Somebody is methodically knocking off all the top mobsters in Detroit. Sergeant "Fang" Mulheisen has another tough case on his hands. All the clues lead to the same place: nowhere. Then Joe Service, Mulheisen's nemesis and successful "freelancer" turns up doing his own investigations.

From Publishers Weekly:
Back on the streets in top form is Detroit's soiled, yet sensitive Sgt. "Fang" Mulheisen, whose last appearance was in the praised Grootka . Having rubbed out mobster Sid Sedlacek and his driver, hit man Hal Good is picked up as a possible witness and taken to jail while Mulheisen oversees the crime scene. A quick ID switch with a drunk in a nearby cell lands Hal back on the streets, in possession of a large chunk of money taken from Sid (who'd taken it from his boss, hence the contract), and pursued by both Mulheisen and another gun-for-hire. Meanwhile, Mulheisen meets up with a woman from his past and falls for her all over again, even though her husband has a few too many links with the latest profusion of homicides. With dialogue that's droll and dark, a series figure who's one short step from terminal burnout and a seamy urban setting illuminated by kinetic, violent, often brutally funny scenes, Jackson expertly taps the vein that Elmore Leonard, another Motown scribe, is noted for. Atlantic will be issuing mass market editions of The Diehard , The Blind Pig and Grootka in spring 1993.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 237 pages. Spine faded.Jon A. Jackson is one of crime fiction 's masters, and now Grove Press brings back into print three myst eries featuring his popular hero Detective Sergeant Fang Mulheise n. In Hit on the House, acclaimed by Jim Harrison as an unqualifi ably brilliant novel, Hal Good, a contract killer, is hired to wh ack Big Sid Sedlacek -- a mob heavy who's been on the take. Picke d up as a possible witness, Hal switches IDs with a drunk and wal ks out of jail before Mulheisen can question him. Soon other Mob higher-ups begin to meet bloody ends, and a woman from Mulheisen' s past turns up married to an abrasive computer entrepreneur with a suspicious number of friends in the business. As the investiga tion gets ever more unwieldy, the body count mounts, while the mi llions of dollars skimmed by Big Sid and his unnamed partners -- including, maybe, Hal -- stays missing.
