Beschreibung

An actor stabbed and shoved off a balcony to his death. A haunted wild west stunt show. And murder... murder... murder.
 
Nod Blake, the cynical, wise-cracking private eye is back. An aging throwback to a bygone era of detecting on the mean streets, he's a dinosaur of a private eye who never got the memo he was extinct.
 
Once again, Blake has been dumped in the midst of murder most foul. He is psychically besieged by victims, begging him from beyond the grave to solve their murders. In the real world, he's flummoxed by vandals, an anonymous blackmailer and death-defying stunt men - and hounded by a homicide detective happy to pin the killings on him.
 
It's an all new murder mystery with a sly sense of humor, set in 1979 Chicago where a maniacal killer riding free on the range... is the good news. The third book in Doug Lamoreux's Nod Blake Mysteries series, MURDER CAN BE A MISTAKE contains grim murder and outrageous laughs, peppered with adult themes and language.

    The little girl lay under the hay stack scarcely breathing. Sweat poured down her face and dripped into her eyes; her heart pounded through her thin chest. Tiny flecks of hay clung to her wet skin, making her itch. She squeezed her nose tightly afraid she'd sneeze. Eyes clamped shut, she lay there. Flies buzzed around her, crawling on her. She didn't move. She didn't know how long she'd been there in the loft. She didn't care how long she stayed. She couldn't move. Not yet. Nearly a lifetime after a childhood filled with misery and abuse, Gina, now a successful doctor, finds herself thrown back into a terrifying world where her nightmares become far more than just a dream. With the help of an unconventional therapist with secrets of her own, the hunt is on and Gina fights for her life in this harrowing tale of cat and mouse.
