Ezra Beckitt has been trying to get back to normal in the wake of the Eat-the-Dead Fred case. But when his old friend and boss comes into his office and asks him to take a look at something, he's plunged into another mystery. A boy who shouldn't be dead but is, an old woman found in her car...both of these victims seem to have died of nothing. Ezra will go from the lofty estates of the ultra-wealthy high on Hatis City's green hill to the shadowy alleyways of the lowest parts of the city in search of answers...but what will he do with the answers he finds?

And so here we are with Mr. Ezra Beckitt once more, this time in the midst of his prime and after the events of Eat the Dead Fred, during which he was forced to face down a figure with a great deal of hate, a clear strangeness, and the horror of what that man had done all unknowing. This time, in the lingering afterglow of his recent success, Ezra seems to have met his match in the strange case of a teenage boy, recently arrived at college and ready to take advantage of a full-ride baseball scholarship, only to turn up dead without a single sign indicating how or why. Even the new ME ( a surprisingly adept young examiner with his own questions on the case) is at a loss, but with the case quickly shut despite some rather unusual expediency and another opened ahead of him, Ezra will quickly find that there are often more questions in his world than there are answers even if he'd prefer it were otherwise.
There are currently four tales available involving Ezra Beckitt, this one, if you're trying to read them in chronological order, being the third of the bunch. Equal bits noir, fantasy, and modern drama this is another good mystery, though I'd say this one is a bit more of a side tale like Justice By All Means than the harder-edged and more direct stories told in Eat the Dead Fred and the final book, Agent White. If you like noir, especially with a blend of dark bits and wry humor, this will be your cuppa.
