Synopsis

Junior Bender is back to untangle one of the weirdest mysteries in Tinseltown. LA burglar Junior Bender has, unfortunately, developed a reputation as a competent private investigator for crooks. The unfortunate part about this is that, regardless of whether he solves the crime or not, someone dangerous is going to be unhappy with himeither his suspect or his employer. Now Junior is being bullied into proving aging music-industry mogul Vinnie DiGaudio is innocent of the murder of a nasty tabloid journalist hed threatened to kill a couple times. It doesnt help that the dead journalists widow is one pretty lady, and shes trying to get Junior to mix business with pleasure. Just as the investigation is spiraling out of control, Juniors hard-drinking landlady begs him to solve the disappearance of her daughter, who has gotten involved with a very questionable character. And, worst news of all, both Juniors ex-wife and his thirteen-year-old daughter, Rina, seem to have new boyfriends. What a mess.

Goodreads review by Lance

Fictional burglars who end up starring in their own novels have to be multi-talented. The ones whose stories I've read generally have to be detectives, guidance counselors, therapists, AA buddies, and diplomats.
