Dangerous Assignment - Daphne Machon

Jim Judd's detective agency is not doing too well. His only cases seem to be looking for lost dogs and checking on wayward husbands, but things suddenly change. The wife of a millionaire wine merchant visits to him to hire him to find her missing husband, and Jim's life changes. He takes on the case and finds himself faced with intrigue and mysterious goings on at the wine merchants. When a young man working at the firm is found dead, Jim realises that he too could be in danger and the case he is investigating is much bigger than he had realised. Working on his own, Jim finds things difficult but he is assisted by an unlikely force when a group of street wise youths come to his aide and together they search for the missing wine merchant hoping to find him before he too is killed.
