The Moonlight Falcon: A Dick Moonlight PI Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254488415)

"In a city full of shadows, even the truth wears a mask."

When down-on-his-luck private investigator Dick Moonlight takes a job for the shady Blaze Construction Company, he thinks it's a simple case of workplace theft. The company's short-tempered owner, Greg Blaze, swears his crew is stealing expensive tools-and he wants Moonlight to bring back the proof.

But what starts as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a lethal web of lies, greed, and betrayal. As Moonlight digs deeper, he uncovers something darker than missing equipment: a priceless obsidian falcon statuette-an artifact with a deadly history reaching back to the sands of ancient Egypt.

Now, the deeper he hunts for the truth, the more the darkness closes in. Mobsters, corrupt contractors, and femme fatales-everyone wants the bird. And in the world of Dick Moonlight, getting too close to the truth is a good way to end up dead.

Perfect for fans of classic noir, hard-boiled detective fiction, and fast-paced thrillers, this pulse-cracking mystery from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Vincent Zandri delivers everything readers crave: razor-sharp dialogue, morally gray heroes, and twists that hit like a sucker punch.
