Red Herrings Can't Swim

Doug Lamoreux

Maison d'édition: Next Chapter

Synopsis

A drowned man. A sinister circus. And murder... murder... murder.
 
Nod Blake, the cynical, wise-cracking private eye, is back. He's an aging throwback to a bygone era of detecting on the mean streets; a dinosaur of a private eye who never got the memo that he was extinct. And thanks to his over-eager secretary, he's been dumped in the midst of murder most foul.
 
From beyond the grave, victims are begging Blake to solve their murders. In the real world, he's flummoxed by vandals, threats to his life, wildly raucous suspects and a homicide detective happy to pin killings on him.
 
Red Herrings Can't Swim in an all-new murder mystery with a sly sense of humor, set in 1979 Chicago where a maniacal killer running loose under the Big Top on Navy Pier... is the good news.
 
Contains grim murder and outrageous laughs, peppered with adult themes and language.
