    About this ebook

    Private Investigator Jack Hannigan takes on the case of the man who lost his talent. Then a cheerleader hires him to kill a dead man. The Scotch-guzzling detective tries not to solve the cases so that he can keep collecting expenses, which include all the Johnny Walker Blue Label he can drink. A satiric detective novella filled with scenes of gut-splitting humor and borderline pornography.

      I WAS in Central Park one afternoon, tying my shoe, when two sparrows landed on the back of a nearby bench. A child seated not far away noticed them as well and said to the woman I assumed was her nanny, “Look, they’re friends!” It’s what a kid would
