Widow Lillian Kingsforth desperately needs Clint Adams's help. She's being pressure to sell her hotel by several gambling entrepreneurs who believe the property could be put to better use-and whose business practices include attempting to murder her.
In Bad Buisiness Clint Adams is sent on an errand to San Francisco by the Pinkerton Detective Agency to investigate the death of an agent. He soon finds himself working on an attempted murder of a hotel owner. It is not long before other hotel owners start dying and Adams finds himself drawn deeper and deeper as the bodies begin to stack up. This is an interesting story and like the other reviewer said it has one of the more unusual love scenes. My biggest complaint about the story is that just like in the other story that I reviewed it does not seem to have any real ending it just stops as if the author realizes that he only has a page left to wrap things up a little more closure would be much appreciated.
Another good read

"Bad Business" has more of a modern feel to it than most entries in The Gunsmith series since it's set in San Francisco amidst a metro backdrop. The mysteries are plentiful here as Clint plays detective, seeking out a would be assassin or assassins at the request of a lovely hotel owner. There's a lot going on in "Bad Business" as this particular entry can boast having one of the more complicated plots in the series. Clint does a few surprising things this time around too-especially when a certain individual disrespects the woman he's working for. As always, Mr. Adams has his share of hook-ups also including one in particular that's especially memorable.
