I really enjoyed this book.  I love almost everything that recalls the film noir era of Hollywood, and this PI, Spencer McCoy, is no exception.  I found the references to surfing a new twist (remind me later to research this!).  Red, Spencer's new assistant, is definitely reminiscent of Rosalind Russell and Susie Knickerbocker.  She's a gal who knows that being a PI's assistant is a better gig than playing bit acting parts and hoping for the big break.  Plus, she's good at it.Like some other reviewers here, I don't like a cliffhanger ending.  It's cheating!If this is a series, I would try another book in the set.
