Perfect for you if...

You love mysteries with genuinely funny supporting characters who feel real rather than theatrical
You enjoy desert noir that doesn't take itself seriously but still delivers an actual plot
You want a protagonist who's tired and cynical but still gets the job done when it matters

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer serious crime fiction without comedic relief or self-aware absurdism
You're looking for a hard-boiled detective who's still in his prime, not reluctant and grumpy
You need your mysteries grim and dark rather than weird and colourful

About this book

In Pickensburg, Arizona, the Mayor is murdered with a poisoned letter. Brian Dawson, a former detective now running a motel, is drawn back into investigation when his young desk clerk is framed for the crime. Brian must navigate a list of suspects that includes a Norse bodybuilder, an emotionally perceptive psychic, a florist who keeps secrets, and his sharp-tongued ex-wife who has recently returned to town. As more bodies accumulate and the desert heat intensifies, Brian uncovers a complex web of small-town greed, past relationships, and dangerous secrets.
