About this series
1938. New York City. A young woman hires The Chambers-Riggs Detective Agency to tail her husband, Simon Weiss, a comic strip artist and creator of the newest and hottest strip in the papers, The Adventures of Bucky Mars. They accept the job but soon realize that there's a lot more to Simon Weiss than what they see in the funny pages. A simple tail job pins Jack Chambers and Madison Riggs as pawns in a sinister game of deception and violence. Spanning from Hell's Kitchen to Long Island and into the darkest depths of Chinatown, they soon find out that everyone's on the take, everyone is connected and everyone wants them dead.
Murder has the last laugh in the gritty crime sequel to Shill for the Kill, where Blood Runs Deep...in the Gutter!

New York, 1938. The country is slowly climbing out of the depression and work has never been better for Jack Chambers, a private eye with a scattered past. But when a young socialite hires Jack to find her lost sister, Jack slowly begins his descent into the seedy sides of New York, where even the easiest case can turn into a nightmare. Until Jack has a clandestine meeting with an unsatisfied, curious New Jersey housewife, Elle Parker, an aficionado of Detective stories who has an uncanny resemblance to Jack's missing girl. Together, they try to piece together the dark web of deception, racketeering and murder, where Elle might just need to become the Shill for the Kill!
