The Classy Detective Agency:
Duane Lindsay [Lindsay, Duane]
Private Investigator Mysteries
WHO KNEW FAKING CLASSWOULD BE SO DANGEROUS?
In
Duane Lindsay’s latest action-packed noir thriller, private eye Lou
Fleener does what he does best: wisecrack, roam his beloved hometown,
and get into a hell of a lot of street fights. It’s 1960 in glamorous
Chicago, and Lou and his wife Cassidy (turned sardonic, ever-scheming
partner in crime), are broke. In need of fast cash, they devise a scheme
to advertise themselves as sophisticated private eyes catering to the
city’s elite.
But it turns out they aren’t the only ones running a
con. Whip-smart as they are, they aren’t prepared for the stealthy
criminals hiding among Chicago’s rich and famous.
While
hobnobbing at a fancy party, the Classy Detectives catch the eye of a
bored socialite who’s cooking up a scheme with a genius art thief. The
conspirators are casing a local exhibit that’s chock full of famous,
lucrative paintings. But the larcenous pair need a fall guy: they figure
that if they put an appropriate suspect in the right place at the right
time, they can breezily lift the loot.
So they hire Lou and
Cassidy to “guard” the paintings. The Classy Detectives are over the
moon: they think they’ve been hired to eat hamburgers and hang out
outside the museum.
One dead cop later, they realize they’ve been
set up. Quicker than you can say, “Go Cubs!” Cassidy’s arrested. Even
worse, the headline LOU FLEENER: COP KILLER is plastered across
newspapers and blaring out of radios. Only too obviously, this is the
time to concoct Plan B--and thereon hangs a rollicking tale.
Fans
of Donald Westlake will revel in the clever twists and turns and
sardonic humor. But mystery fans of every persuasion will love Lou
Fleener. Cozy readers will adore the romance, the snappy jokes, and
Lou’s spitfire wife Cassidy. There’s also enough fast-moving action for
hard-boiled fans, and a quirky brand of noir that will appeal to
classicists looking for the next Raymond Chandler
