Sean McDermott is a wisecracking private detective from New York City, with an extensive catalog of phobias. It's an ok job, but it isn't as exciting as most people think, and that's fine by him. He makes it a rule not to get involved in active police cases or in any case where people are likely to get hurt—especially him. So why does the mob suddenly want him dead? Sure it’s all a mistake, but dead from a mistake is still dead. Refusing to fly, he borrows a Mercedes from his friend, the Juke, and starts on a cross country drive to LA with the idea of lying low until the heat settles. He makes it as far as Mystic Falls, New Mexico before the borrowed Mercedes conks out. Mystic Falls? Think Green Acres, but without the sophistication. All he had to do was keep a low profile and wait for the car to be fixed. It might have worked too, if only the local "character" hadn’t turned up missing, with him as the prime suspect. Now if he ever wants to get out of this sleepy desert asylum, he’s going to have to find her. Sound easy? Fat chance. RJ Leahy is a multi-genre author.
