Summary

The first three books in Doug Lamoreux's Nod Blake Mysteries series, now available in one volume!
 
Corpses Say The Darndest Things: After the wife of a beloved Chicago televangelist dies, aging private eye Nod Blake gets dumped in the middle of it - on his head. Blake believes dead people are talking to him, but are the victims really begging the gumshoe for help from the other side of the grave? When Blake's nemesis, Detective Lieutenant Wenders, finds evidence that Blake is the murderer, the private dick's life becomes a great big soup sandwich.
 
Red Herrings Can't Swim: The cynical, wise-cracking private eye is back. From beyond the grave, victims of crimes past are begging for Blake to solve their murders. Meanwhile, in the real world, he's flummoxed by vandals, threats to his life, raucous suspects and a homicide detective happy to pin killings on him.
 
Murder Can Be A Mistake: Once again, Nod 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 has to deal with an anonymous blackmailer, death-defying stunt men - and a homicide detective who seems to think that Blake is behind it all.
