It’s 1965 and Rocco Mancuso is an atomic spy catcher for the US Atomic Energy Commission. Mancuso looks like a mafia hit man, not an Ivy League attorney who investigates nuclear espionage. Divorced with no love life and a boss who despises him, Mancuso washes away sorrow with too much beer at night. By day, he is the best ther... e is. Mancuso solves the biggest case of his career and thinks he's falling in love when his boss assigns him to investigate plutonium missing from the AEC’s Hanford Site in eastern Washington. His investigation places Mancuso squarely in the cross hairs of Ty Rettig, a psychotic millionaire whose father is a powerful US Senator. If he exposes Rettig, Mancuso is dead. But can he live with himself if he doesn’t? Pernicious Proclivities is a murder mystery you won’t put down.read more
