Goodey's Last Stand: A Hard Boiled Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940708119)

Hailed as "...the next best thing to finding a new and unsuspected Raymond Chandler phantasmagoria" (The New Yorker), this hard boiled case might just be Joe Goodey's last. After the San Francisco PD dismisses Joe Goodey from the force and runs him out of town for shooting the mayor's cousin, the ex-detective's career prospects look bleak. But then a local exotic dancer turns up murdered-and more importantly, her secret journal of clients goes missing. The mayor himself extends Joe Goodey the offer: save the city's esteemed politicians from public embarrassment by retrieving the dancer's black book and Joe gets his badge back. But fail to deliver, and there are far worse fates than death for a down-and-out former cop. Goodey's Last Stand is the first book in the Joe Goodey hard boiled murder mystery series.
