But how can he solve the mystery if he can’t even trust his own client?"Fans of wisecracking California crime solvers will enjoy this working-class PI with a poet’s soul” Booklist“Offbeat characters and popular musical lore distinguish this decidedly unusual tale.” Publishers Weekly“A weird, but welcome, addition to the pantheon of literary PIs. A delightfully strange spin on the noir genre.” Foreword Magazine
