Book Mail 📪

 

Returned from our stay at the beach to find this book in the the pile of mail that was waiting for me at the post office.

Synopsis: PI Pete Fortunato wakes up one morning with a bad taste in his mouth. This is never a good sign. When a beautiful woman wants to hire him to find her husband, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. Within a day, Fortunato finds the husband in the apartment of his client’s young, stud lover. He’s been shot once in the head. Case closed. But when his client’s check bounces, and a couple of Albanian gangsters show up outside his building and kidnap him, hoping he’ll lead them to a large sum of money supposedly stolen by the dead man, he begins to realize there’s a good chance he’s been set up to take the fall for the murder and the theft of the money. 

In an attempt to get himself out of a jam, Fortunato winds up on a wild ride that takes him down to Texas where he searches for his client’s lover who he suspects has the money and holds the key to solving the murder. 

I’m always intrigued by a hard-boiled mystery and this one sounds like it’s right up my alley! Thank you to Sonya at Claire McKinney PR and Down and Out Books for this #giftedbook! 

QOTD: how’s your week going so far? 

I feel like I’m playing catch up on everything after a few days of travel. My priorities yesterday were to visit my mom and get a much needed haircut. Accomplished both. It was wonderful seeing my mom after being away.
