Publisher's Summary

When Jimmy McSwain is hired to find missing heir Harris Rothschild, he finds that identities can be altered and lives can be changed - or taken with the simple pull of the trigger. Jimmy McSwain is a New York City private detective, operating out of Hell's Kitchen, the rough and tumble neighborhood he grew up in. At age 14, he watched as his NYPD father was gunned down. Now, at age 28, and gay, Jimmy has never given up pursuit of whoever killed him. But a PI must make a living, and so he's taken on the case of missing heir Harris Rothschild, whose overbearing father doesn't approve of his "alternate" lifestyle.

Tracking down Harris is easier than expected, but the carnage that follows isn't. With a shocking murder on his hands, and a threat coming from some unforeseen person, Jimmy's caseload is suddenly full, and very dangerous.

Ignore the cover, this gay noir mystery was great!

At 14 yo, Jimmy McSwain became disillusioned with the world when his NYPD father was gunned down in front of him and his cop buddies never bothered to find the killer, despite their promises. As a gay private investigator in NY, Jimmy sees his fair share of sleazy assignments including tailing a suspected unfaithful husband, but it’s when he’s asked to find a missing gay son that things start to go awry and people are endangered. I REALLY loved this investigative murder-mystery, it was a great plot! I also loved Jimmy as a character, he’s decent, well-intentioned, and has good family support. While his track record with love isn’t great, there’s a slight ray of sunshine on the grimy horizon, and I’ll look forward to that evolving over the series. With the Batman-like origin story, I’ll also look forward to the long arc of Jimmy finding his father’s killer. Audio royalty Joel Leslie performs the narration and does his usual excellent job!
