About The Stolen Life Caper: A Queen City Private Eye Thriller (The Queen City Private Eye Detective Series)

Staying alive in Queen City ain’t cheap, and Private Investigator Mickey Hook’s credit just ran out. A botched case from the past is breathing down his neck, and a ruthless enforcer is stalking him for debts he can’t pay. Mickey’s ready to fold his hand, until a visit to the morgue deals him a deadly new card. The body on the slab is a lie. The cops say it’s one woman, but Mickey knows better. It’s a cover-up bought with blood and silence. Enter Miss Friday. She’s elegance weaponized, a fixer for the city’s corrupt elite. She offers a payout large enough to wipe his slate clean. All he’s gotta do is look the other way. Easy money. Clean exit. No questions asked. But Miss Friday demands a decision. She gives him a deadline: twenty-four hours to take the deal or earn a toe tag of his own. With the police, the politicians, and his own demons closing in, Mickey must race against the clock to solve a deadly mystery that goes to the very top, before his own time runs out. If you love the moral complexity of Dashiell Hammett, the grit of Raymond Chandler, and the pulp of Mickey Spillane, you’ll feel right at home in Queen City.
