1552452697		 Private detective Robert James is more interested in chronicling his cases than solving them. Still, his interest is piqued when he receives a late-night phone call from the young and beautiful Elaine Andrews, who just found her much-older husband dead on their couch, a knife in his chest. Or at least that's probably what happened...
Murder, corruption and betrayal ensue as hapless Bob is drawn into the dark underworld of Elaine and Gerald Andrews--and into the tangled web woven by his own mind. Along the way, he befriends a young grad student/flower delivery driver, Darren, who inadvertently becomes his sidekick: a Watson to his Holmes, or maybe more like a Sancho Panza to his Don Quixote. Or is it the other way around? Either way, Bob and Darren can't stop drinking, smoking and philosophizing long enough to keep up with the story.
