Las Vegas, 1959. WWII veteran Joe Halliday is enjoying the good life - running Tiki Joe's Restaurant, courting a beautiful girl, and making time with stead-fast friends - that is, until the local mob moves in with demands for protection money. When the police are unable to help, Joe calls in a few old army friends, and together they decide to pay the mob off... in lead! Tiki Joe is an Ocean's Eleven-style mystery set in Las Vegas - part murder mystery, part hard-boiled thriller by newcomer Mark Murphy.
