Produktbeschreibung
On the verge of bankruptcy private investigator Mitch O'Reilly takes any gig that comes his way while running his Eye Spy Supply shop in a forgotten Los Angeles strip mall. After two tours in Afghanistan, Mitch's life amounts to running his store, coping with his fun-loving sister, Josie, and scoring with anonymous men he meets online. That changes when he gets a break. A beloved comedy scriptwriter is murdered at a bathhouse, and Mitch is hired to prove the innocence of the club custodian. Adapting from a two-bit gumshoe to a high-profile sleuth proves more challenging than he expected. As if Mitch didn't have enough to deal with, playful bathhouse operator Trent Nakos enters his life. After a heartbreaking past, the manager is the definition of a man the brooding P.I. actively avoids. Following leads from sprawling mansions to sketchy hoods is demanding but becomes more troublesome when deadly threats jeopardize the biggest opportunity of his career.
Autorenporträt
After growing up in Michigan and North Carolina, Brad Shreve crisscrossed the country while working in the hotel industry. In addition to working in hotels as a bellman, front desk clerk, and reservation call center director, he's managed coffee houses, waited tables, sold potato chips off a truck and even hocked pre-burial funeral plans. He credits Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak for developing his interest in art and storytelling. He'd spend hours on the floor sketching and painting and writing stories. My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George gave him his first inklings that he'd like to be a novelist someday. In addition to perpetually thinking of how to kill people, he's a proud dad, a beach bum, and coffee house squatter. He currently lives in the Los Angeles South Bay with his husband, Maurice.
