Things are looking up for down-at-heel private eye Bubba Mabry. For once in his life he has two cases - unfortunately, he doesn't want to admit to anyone that he's working on either of them. He's not quite sure which is most embarrassing - the hunt for a stolen kewpie doll collection belonging to a City Councilwoman, or the fact that his second employer is a pimp. Sultan Sweeny's stable of girls are being targeted by a killer, and that's not good for business. This book is a wonderfully over the top tale of murder and mischief - with some unforgettable characters, warmth and wit. The characters and situations may seem unbelievable but, somehow, Steve Brewer manages to make it all ring true. Bubba’s seeming lack of success and everyone else's view of his bumbling ineptness disguises the fact that he's actually pretty good at what he does. This is a humourous mystery series with an edge.
