Art Hardin Mystery Books

The second book in the Art Hardin Thriller series finds Art with his life up for grabs after a wealthy client's reclusive but prominent old flame winds up dead.

Private Detective Art Hardin's caseload does not usually involve AK47s, but when an Islamic terrorist group uses an unsuspecting family friend to smuggle money into the country and the money disappears, Art gets in deeper than ever before.

Robert E. Bailey’s Art Hardin became an instant mystery icon with the publication of his first novel, PRIVATE HEAT, which won the Josiah W. Bancroft Award at the Florida First Coast Writer's Festival in 1998 and was nominated for the 2003 Shamus Award, given by the Private Eye Writers of America. Now, in a new short story, Bailey gives readers a look into Hardin’s past and shows us a bit more of what made him the PI he is “today.” Be sure to read all of the Art Hardin mysteries, now available as eBooks from Ignition Books.
