Silver Medal Bookfest Award - Private Investigator Gold Global eBook Award - Humor Silver Global eBook Award - Mystery Readers Favorite 5 Star Award - Sleuth Finalist IAN Book of the Year Awards! - Fiction: Humor/Comedy/Satire "Loved it! A really fun filled crime story with lots of wisecracks and banter. It was a good imaginative plot with the quirky character of Sam Marlowe and enough suspense to move the story along".- Goodreads Sam Marlowe isn't a happy dick. His noir-obsessed parents combined the names of two literary private eyes - Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe - hoping he'd become a snooper. He did. But they didn't count on their son getting a bullet to the noggin that injured his brain. Now, he talks in that 1930's hyperbolic style where guns are gats and money is lettuce. It's funny to us, but not to Sam. He dislikes the way he talks. It scares away dates and confuses clients. Even though he doesn't think or act like an old-time PI, Sam battles every day not to sound like Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon . Despite his quirky and off-putting patter Sam is still a well-respected PI, which attracts Helen Boston to his office. "I caught a whiff of Xanax and chardonnay," Sam notes, as she tells a bizarre story. He agrees to take her case along with two others at the same time. Why? "Fictional PIs always have multiple cases that come together in the end," he says, "just like story lines in a Seinfeld episode." When Helen dies from a drug overdose Sam knows it was murder. While investgating Helen's murder, he exposes how drug cartels, Russian oligarchs, crooked politicians and many of the world's one-percenters hide their cash in a legal, global matrix that some have dubbed Moneystan. (That's a true thing.)
