Black (Black #1)
Author: Russell Blake
Release Date: September 8, 2013
Description:
Artemus Black. Perennially down-on-his-luck Hollywood PI whose Bogie fixation is as dated as his wardrobe. With an assistant who mocks him relentlessly, an obese cat that loathes him, a romantic life that's deader than Elvis, money problems, booze, nicotine, and anger management issues, how much worse can it get? When he takes a case that's supposed to be easy money working for a celebrity whose colleagues and surrounding paparazzi are dropping faster than interest in the star's big comeback, the cakewalk turns ugly and Black finds himself in a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder - and bad hair days.
The first in a new series from bestselling author Russell Blake, Black is a detective mystery with a difference that fans of the genre are sure to enjoy.
PRAISE FOR BLACK:
“A sadistically good writer.” – The Kindle Book Review
“I haven’t been this excited by a new series in a long time.
I’ve read five or six Blake books, which were all very good, but he
absolutely nails the hard-boiled genre. He has a knack for creating
memorable characters and the main character Black and his assistant will
not be forgotten anytime soon. I’ve always enjoyed Blake’s humor, but
the dialogue between the two aforementioned characters is hysterical.
Finally – as usual, Blake moves the book along at a nice pace with
enough twists, turns, and adventure to keep any reader engrossed. I
can’t wait for the next one in this series.” Trenchgold, Amazon 5 Star review.
“I’ve read several of Blake’s books and this is my favorite. It
features well developed characters, great humor, and a fun plot. The
writing is also fantastic. I especially love the book’s treatment of LA,
and its characters, more often than not leftovers from broken dreams.
If you love Elmore Leonard, and who doesn’t, you’re going to love Black.
Five stars.” Wright Forbucks, Amazon 5 Star review.
