    About this series

    Series: James Cartwright PI Mysteries (Book 3)

     

    Cartwright's latest case starts off simple enough. Miss Stonewall, from the Mutual Trust Insurance Agency, wants him to track down a missing orangutan. The thing is, as Cartwright explains, he doesn't do orangutans. But when Stonewall offers him a large wad of cash for the job, Cartwright's suspicions are piqued.

     

    Cartwright stumbles across a rare green diamond, setting off a chain of events that lands him in a tangled web of conspiracies.

     

    From the Dirty Wars and Death Squads of Argentina to the greatest diamond heist of the century, to a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out humanity, and a cold-blooded assassin determined to fulfill his destiny—Cartwright's confronted at every turn in his efforts to solve one of the most tangled and diabolical mysteries of his career.

     

    "The Case of the Runaway Orangutan is a nuanced and artfully layered mystery brimming with non-stop action, fueled by twists and turns that will keep you guessing till the very end."

     

    "Spencer's latest fast-paced thriller features James Cartwright, an ex-cop turned private eye from the backstreets of Detroit. You won't be disappointed. It has it all."

     

    "The Case of the Runaway Orangutan reads like a runaway freight train on the verge of derailing at every turn."

He lives by a moral code, one which he believes helps him distinguish right from wrong, fact from fiction, and truth from lies. But as Cartwright discovers during each of his cases, it's one thing to believe in the code, and quite another to live by it. In each case, Cartwright uses his intellect, brute force, and unique powers of deduction in unwitting his unsuspecting adversaries In his latest case, James Cartwright, a Detroit ex-cop, turned private eye, sets out to prove the innocence of a seventeen-year-old girl named, Alice. She's suspected of murdering her grandfather, Professor Carmichael. However, the murder turns out to be anything but straightforward. Carmichael, a leading genetic scientist, has a dark and sinister past, dating back to the 1930s American Eugenics program. "Spencer's recent addition to the Cartwright Series is loaded with unexpected twists and turns and edge of your seat suspense. It will keep you guessing to the last page." "Call of the Nightingale was an enjoyable read. It was the first book that I have read by the author, Oliver Dean Spencer, and the second in the James Cartwright Mystery series... I will definitely add the two other books in the series to my list plus check out other series books by this accomplished author." 4 out of 5 stars - Early Reviewers, Library Thing May 6, 2023 "After listening to Alice's plead for help, James commits to investigating the murder but requires transportation. Enter Jason, the cabby who becomes James' trusted partner in his quest for justice. While conducting his investigation, James' reliance on taxis as his primary mode of transportation evokes the spirit of Michael Connelly's famous Lincoln Lawyer, who conducted business from the backseat of his Lincoln. Rest assured, James is just as determined and resourceful as his literary counterpart and will stop at nothing to uncover the truth." Authors Reading Review June 21, 2023
