Peel: A Peter Surf Novel
The Peter Surf series is a darkly comic take on the private eye crime novel. Here, high comedy is merged with low comedy with black comedy with weapons-grade satire. Surf fiction is bullet-riddled farce with explicit swagger and graphic baditude. Put simply, Surf fiction is like nothing else.
In Peel, a mysterious childlike woman hires him to recover her “stolen” sex fantasy. She has layers of identities to peel and turns Surf into the target of armed thugs, mercenaries, sadists, war criminals, and the intelligence agencies of three countries, all on the hunt for billions in stolen Iraqi loot.

In "Peel: A Peter Surf Novel", Private Investigator Peter Surf uses his no nonsense take no prisoners style to solve a new case - find his clients' stolen sex fantasy. On the way he acquires his own groupie ("I didn’t know that P.I's had groupies?") and mixes it up with a host of characters including Drug Dealers, the local Mafia, War Criminals, the Police, Spies and more.
With fair amount of action, humour and the surreal, this page turner kept me interested from the first page to the very end. I liked the way the characters are developed in the story and you can almost feel the sun on your face, the breeze on your skin and the people around you as you negotiate the world of Peter Surf. Raymond Embrack is certainly a mystery writer worth reading and one who keeps you coming back for more! I certainly look forward to reading the other books in the series.
