Synopsis

A case of stolen shoes leads maverick Chicago PI Sam Kelson into something far darker and deeper in the second of this hardhitting crime noir series.

"My boyfriend's been stealing my Jimmy Choos."

Genevieve Bower has hired private investigator Sam Kelson to recover her stolen shoes from her soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend. The problem is that no one's seen Genevieve's boyfriend for the past two weeks. Events take a disturbing twist when, in his search for the shoes, Kelson comes across a body, shot in the head. A clear-cut case of suicide—or is it? Has Kelson's client been wholly honest with him? What is this case really about? At the same time, an explosion rips through one of the city's public libraries, leaving a friend's nephew critically injured. Could there be a connection? If there is, Kelson's determined to find it. But Kelson's not like other investigators. Taking a bullet in the brain during his former career as a Chicago cop, he suffers from disinhibition: he cannot keep silent or tell lies when questioned—and his involuntary outspokenness is about to lead him into dangerous waters . . .

I loved the first book, and this one is even better! A great mix of noir and humor. The writing is stellar and the author is one of my absolute favorites. I cannot wait to dive into book three, and hope there are many, many more crime thriller books coming in the future!......more

Goodreads review by Meredith on May 04, 2020

I absolutely loved the first book in the Sam Kelson series, so I had high expectations for this book. A bit of trepidation, too: the first book was funny and off-beat, with a hard core crime for the talkative PI to solve. Could the second book like up to my expectations? Not quite, but pretty darned......more

More reviews at www.booksontour.net Disinhibition. Autotopagnosia. Have you ever heard of those terms? I know disinhibition, of course. But I’ve never heard of the other one. However, it seems both are considered mental disorders and in the case of our protagonist, they are a kind of side effect of a......more

Sam Kelson is not your typical private detective. An on the job "incident" (he was shot in the head) left him with a type of brain damage called disinhibition - Kelson is incapable of keeping secrets or telling lies. He also has an unfortunate habit of making inappropriate comments, is often unable......more
