ALL IN is the third noir mystery published by Diversion Books featuring the flinty ex-cop poker playing detective, Lennox Cooper. Lennox stands alone in championing Tomek Jagoda, darling son of a Portland crime family, accused of murdering his high-living girlfriend.

The cops have proof that will send Tomek to prison for life. Prosecuting the case is a Viking goddess of a woman, as smart as she is stunning. Next to her, Lennox feels like a garden gnome. Everyone's hot for the prosecutor including Lennox's boss and Tomek's defense attorney who's willing to throw Tomek under the bus in a plea deal that carries a ten-year sentence.

Big as a tool shed and twice as dumb—what is it about Tomek that convinces Lennox of his innocence? As Lennox unwinds all the lies surrounding the case, she sees deeper into Tomek's humanity and into her own as well. She realizes that she's in love with the defense attorney who's in lust with the prosecutor. Lennox bets her job, her love and her own safety to find the killer. She's all in.

Having read Lily Gardner's first two novels, I looked forward to reading her new one, ALL IN. This time, Detective LennoxCooper puts herself in peril by working to save the son of a mob queen from prison for a crime he didn't commit. Gardner's novel is tense from the first page to the end. Like her other novels, it delivers a good read.
