Dinner For One

Rate this book
A Gritty, Fast-Paced Detective Mystery Full of Twists, Trouble, and TensionBruce is a private eye with a smart mouth, a battered .45, and a talent for getting the crap kicked out of him.
He wakes up face-down on his desk, head pounding, office wrecked, and no memory of how the night went sideways. What started as a routine job—tailing a cheating husband for a quiet woman in library glasses—just exploded into a storm of fists, blood, and unanswered questions.

Now he’s dodging giant goons, catching chairs to the head, and bleeding on diner floors while trying to figure out what the hell Mrs. Patterson didn’t tell him. Spoiler it’s a lot.

He’s not the kind of guy to walk away.
Even when walking hurts like hell.

Perfect for fans Noir with heavy action

Detectives who keep swinging after the third blackout

Stories that hit hard, move fast, and bleed with style

This isn’t your grandpa’s gumshoe mystery.
It’s sharp. It’s gritty. It’s violent. And Bruce? He’s exactly the wrong guy to mess with—because he doesn’t quit, even when he's bleeding out on your linoleum.

Pour yourself a whiskey. This ride's about to get mean.

The perfect novel for anyone looking for a quick, yet exhilarating read! The author provided a detailed depiction of the troubles a private eye faces as he realizes his client hadn't told him everything he should know. It's an absolute must read for anyone who's a fan of classic noir detective stories with an ideal amount of action (which is a lot). This book leaves you craving not only a hot roast beef sandwich, but also what may happen next. Hopefully this author will write a sequel!
