A Not So Hardboiled Detective Novel
By dcwigg
This not so hardboiled investigator novel is set in Washington DC with an ex-cop now operative as a private eye with a lady crony who is still with a military department. Fast paced, it isinterestingly created with characters who are believable. It provides a glance into a rather seamy side of a sovereign district. A good read! Omakase Links
