"Bully For You" (volume one of the "HARPER mysteries") follows cantankerous, slightly-alcoholic private investigator Reggie Harper as he attempts to track down Michael Waller, a missing eleven-year-old boy in Seattle, Washington.
Before long he discovers this is anything but your average missing persons case, stumbling upon a far-reaching web of fabrications, corruption, abuse, and murder.
Will Detective Harper find Michael Waller before it's too late, or will something strike him down before he ever gets his feet on the ground?
Dan Burley is a New York-bred writer, musician and artist living in the greater Charlotte area of North Carolina who really doesn't like talking about himself in third person. From a young age, he has had a great affection for crime fiction and even briefly considered a career as a detective or criminal profiler.
However, he ultimately decided writing books about a great detective and his family would prove far less dangerous than personally chasing down monsters.
The jury's still out on whether or not he was correct in that decision.
