Reviews

[Irene · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a boilerplate detective novel complete with the standard issue hard drinking investigators, the extraordinary single-handed take down of multiple bad guys, the improbable plot and the canned dialogue.

HB-B @ 2007 -5/07. 70 year old PI Deets Shanahan and girlfriend Maureen are being targeted for murder. Howie Cross wants to help his friend, but comes home to find a five year old girl on his doorstep. Good.
