A "left-handed dollar" is basically dirty money--criminal enterprise and this story involves organized crime. Amos is working for "Lefty Lucy" a lawyer for left-wing causes whose latest client, gangster Joseph Michael Ballista, is facing hard time in prison if he can't get his prior record expunged. Which means Amos has to look into a thirty year old attempted murder--of his close friend, Barry Stackpole, a reporter who covers the mob.
If I found anything off-putting about the novel, it was the love interest--not that she wasn't an appealing character in her own right, but this being the twentieth novel in the series, I thought this meant this was one of those series with a different woman in every book. But another review told me this is the first sign of a love interest in a while. Yet another review I read claimed The Left-Handed Dollar wasn't as strong as earlier books. Well, if so, then those earlier books must be plenty impressive, because this was an enjoyable read. ( )
