Da Nuts Rich Kisielewski

Publisher Marketing: Harry Mickey Shorts, street wise private detective, gets a call from Max who just happens to be his favorite as well as his only son. Max doesn't ask his dad for much but he and his buddies are in need of Harry's help. Without a thought, Harry drops what he is doing and races off to help his son and his friends. Max informs Harry he would like him to investigate the untimely events that prohibited Clint, their current cult hero, from participating in a first ever poker tournament. Clint had played over a quarter of a million hands of poker by the time he had reached his eighteenth birthday and, as evidenced by the size of his bank account, he had won a lot more of those hands than he had lost. All of that meant nothing when he turned up unconscious in his hotel room on the morning of the first day of the inaugural "Under 18 World Championship of Poker" tournament. During his investigation, Harry uses his expertise that sets him apart from other private investigators and goes undercover to explore the world of internet poker. The twist with this version is only kids between the ages of sixteen and eighteen can participate and all winnings may only be paid to higher institutions of learning for the kid's college education. Harry's renewed part-time interest in his ex-wife and his love for and continued attempt to become part of his two children's lives complicates his own life but remains paramount in Harry's thinking.
