Eddie G is the first private investigator in this fictional town of Weighton. Setting out on his first case, his client is soon murdered. And not just that, but being present at the crime scene, Eddie finds himself being seen as the prime suspect! Wow, a start like that!There on begins Eddie's journey of clearing his name. He wants to investigate on his own, for he has no trust in law enforcement, and well, because he is now a private investigator himself! But that is not going to be easy now, is it? The local crime boss, Jimmy Cartwright, does not want him to investigate regarding the murder of what was his first client. Eddie agrees but doesn't stick to the promise he makes.What follows is a lot of suspense and investigation from Eddie, running into the crime boss and his gang of thugs time and again. But every time Eddie is able to bail himself out from the situation. The myriad characters in the book along with the fast pace of the story itself can keep you engrossed in it for hours.The author has done a great job with the narrative. Each of the characters is well laid out too. But Eddie's character deserves special praise. Not only is he the protagonist and the new private investigator in the book, but has this amazing sense of humor and witty one-liners that can give you that little comic break in an otherwise mystery-like story. A well constructed story with a lot going for it. Join Eddie on his adventure with his first case and it will not disappoint you!
