All White Girls
They're dying in the fleshpits in the Windy City. They're all white girls. One young woman is missing. Another is dead. They were drawn to the Windy City like moths to a flame, but the city's bright lights can't illuminate every dark corner. Hidden in the alleys and back streets and in a three-block long stretch of strip clubs and adult book stores are the men who prey on young women like the pedophiles, pimps, and pornographers.
When former partners, unlicensed private investigator Big Dick Rickenbacher and Homicide Lieutenant Salvador Castellano, find their cases overlapping in this violent world of sexual depravity, old flames rekindle, old secrets finally surface, and old crimes demand retribution.
An erotically charged hardboiled noir mystery!
"ALL WHITE GIRLS is a one-sitting, in-your-face, rapid-fire, hard-boiled and it's damn good.... This is not a book to lend to your mother (at least not my mother). ALL WHITE GIRLS is full of sexual depravity. But oh is it fun!"--David Meerman Scott, I Love A Mystery Newsletter.
"...this is one of the best pieces of hard-boiled fiction I've read in a long time. It's lean, it's short, and it left me feeling like I'd been dumped in an alley behind one of strip clubs in the story. 'All White Girls' is a sorely needed reinvention of the tired serial killer tale."
--James Winter, Plots With Guns!

Hardboiled at it's best.
November 27, 2013
PROTAGONIST: Big Dick Rickenbacher, PI
SETTING: Chicago
RATING: 3.5
WHY: Unlicensed PI Big Dick Rickenbacher is hired to find a missing young woman. He's turned up a lot of dead ends after checking out almost every sleazy bar and strip joint in the Windy City. His definition of justice won't be found in the legal dictionary. His case intersects with one of his former partner's, homicide lieutenant Sal Castellano. The conclusion is provocative. Classic hardboiled/noir.
