Bad Money: A Dev Mallory Adventure
by Ed Gorman
Category: Fiction

Spur Award-Winning Author ED GORMAN The money is phony but the murders are real… A COUNTERFEITING RING WITH MORE THAN INK ON ITS HANDS... Secret Service Agent Dev Mallory didn't get to be the best playing by the rules. He's trained to kill, but only as a last resort—because murder has a way of coming back at you... Not too many counterfeiters have outwitted Secret Service Agent Dev Mallory. President Cleveland handpicked him to shut down an elaborate counterfeiting scheme in Denver before it floods the West with funny money and collapses the U.S. economy. The Denver operation might be the best Dev has ever seen, thanks to a corrupt government engraver who's probably outlived his usefulness. Suspected ring members are already turning up dead-and a trusted Secret Service agent has been murdered. But when unexpected ties and betrayals from the past catch up with Dev, the cost of solving this counterfeiting case could include his own life...
