I'm standing just inside the door of a vacant old building, here with my realtor. I'm thinking of buying this place. How's that for a thrilling start to a detective story? A bit unorthodox, I know. These stories usually begin with a bang, sometimes literally.
Maybe I should have started with the ex-porn stars, the naked photos, the murders, or with me, in my new work as a private investigator, being knocked unconscious with a blow to the back of the head-cold-cocked, as the tough guys call it. That last one happens about halfway through the story. I know who did it, and you will, too, and it certainly would be a more thrilling beginning-for you, though not for me. Even the memory of it makes my head hurt...
With the dreamed-of old building purchased, what does he find down the darkened hallway of the 4th floor? It's a long-abandoned private investigator's office with the P.I.'s name written on the pebbled glass of the old 1930's door. Well, why not? Why not scrape that name off, have his own inscribed, obtain his license, and thus indulge his two lifelong dreams at the same time? Then comes the fateful day: his very first client knocks on the door. It's Margot Madley, a drop-dead gorgeous ex-porn star. She comes with a murdered husband, a web of lies to spin, and a lonely, clueless neophyte P.I. to put to her own uses, or so she supposes. But there's more to Daniel Sentso than meets the eye. He may be a novice P.I., but he's nobody's fool, and he does nothing by half-measure...
