Written in the tradition of Robert B. Parker's Spenser and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, the Jim Knighthorse series introduces a new hard-hitting, wise-cracking hero with a modern twist.Jim Knighthorse is an interesting man. A once rising football star sidelined before he could become pro take up P.I. as his life work.I should have read the first book in the series to get a better back story of the main character but still enjoyed the read.There were four other stories going on as Knighthorse hunts down the murder of a fledgling historian. One: the murder of his mother when he was a child, two: the mummified remains of a cowboy, three: break-ins of his girlfriend, a Darwin descendant, and four: helping a friend find a sort of revenge for the beating of his son by a group of boys.All these stories flowed well with the main story and provided a better view of Knighthorses life.I would recommend this book to young adults on up.The Mummy Case (Jim Knighthorse #2)
