O ovoj e-knjizi
Carl Hiaasen meets Agatha Christie in this funny hard-boiled mystery starring Junior Bender—the thief-turned-PI hailed as “the clown prince of crime fiction” (Suspense Magazine).
In present-day L.A., Junior faces a murderous conspiracy—and the increasingly confusing legacy of his burglar-mentor, Herbie Mott.
It’s everyday business when Wattles, the San Fernando Valley’s top “executive crook,” sets up a hit. He establishes a chain of criminals to pass along the instructions and the money, ensuring that the hitter doesn’t know who hired him. But one day Wattles finds his office safe open and a single item missing: the piece of paper on which he has written the names of the crooks in the chain. When people associated with the chain begin to pop up dead, the only person Wattles can approach to solve his problem is Junior Bender, professional burglar and begrudging private eye for crooks.
But Junior already knows exactly who took Wattles’s list: the signature is too obvious. It was Herbie Mott, Junior’s burglar mentor—and when Junior seeks him out to discuss the missing list, he finds Herbie very unpleasantly murdered. Junior follows the links in the chain back toward the killer, and as he does, he learns disturbing secrets from Herbie’s hidden past.
