Amos Parisman is one of the most unique PIs in literary history.
Gumshoe Magazine
Somewhat-retired L.A. private eye Amos Parisman is hired by lonely booking agent Pinky Bleistiff to find one of his missing singers, Risa Barsky. But what starts as a simple investigation turns into a complex puzzle when Pinky is murdered and Risa is still nowhere to be found. With suspects dropping dead at every turn, Parisman must act quickly to discover the truth about Risa's relationship with Pinky before an innocent person gets sent to prison.
The tight plot is enriched with Amoss wry observations (Free is what you are when you dont want to retire yet but nobodys beating a path to your doorbell. Its a terrible thing to be free like that). Descriptions of Amoss tender yet increasingly fragile feelings for his dementia-stricken wife add poignancy. Hopefully, Amos still has a long career ahead of him. Publishers Weekly Amos Parisman is one of the most unique PIs in literary historya superb character studyAmos Parisman serves as a guide, leading readers from one crime scene to another while reflecting on mankind's moral decay. His reflections on life are witty and insightful (and sometimes depressing). He provided me with many reasons for wanting to read future installments in the Amos Parisman Mystery series.
