Crag Banyon Mystery #2
Devil May Care
BANYON'S BACK WITH ONE HECK OF A CASE!
For a savvy private investigator like Crag Banyon, tackling cases that are too hot to handle comes with the territory. But even a plucky P.I. with an occasionally unsavory client roster has his limits. So when a demon shows up at the front door of Banyon Investigations with a pile of cash and a plea for help, Banyon thinks it could be time to cool things down. Unfortunately, temptation strikes at the precise moment the rent is overdue, and the landlord -- not to mention the power and phone companies and Banyon's top fifty favorite liquor stores -- don't take IOUs. Short on cash, he makes a deal with the devil.
Someone's gone over the wall and escaped from Hell, and the demon prison guards need somebody on the outside to track down their misplaced soul. Simple missing persons case, right? Except nothing's ever simple for Crag Banyon, P.I. When he's not being assaulted, mauled, arrested, framed, betrayed, chased and nearly killed, he's uncovering a conspiracy that extends from this life to the afterlife and all points in between.
When all Hell breaks loose, what's Banyon's solution? Shove a flask in his pocket and go to a matinee at the Bijou until it all blows over or blows up...whichever comes first.

Crag Banyon finds a demon named Molokai in his office who wants him to find an escaped human. He'd been assigned an eternity in Hell at his death forty-seven years before. Now he'd escaped and Molokai would be on the hook if word got out.
Banyon didn't really want the job, but like all good P.I.s, he owed everybody ans was in danger of losing both his apartment and office for back rent.
But things aren't always as they seem he soon learns after a visit to Hell to question some of the escaped soul's fellow denizens.
The cops want him, demons are on his tail, and a certain pooch from Hell is out to rip him to shreds.
Loved it.
