“Updated hard-boiled detective story” - Alison Henderson

“Hooked right from the beginning” - Linda Sand

“An extraordinary read” - Maurice Noel Lyons

Desperate to scare up business for his struggling agency, Damien Dickens places an ad in the local paper: "Dickens Detective Agency. We find what you're looking for."

He didn't anticipate Celine Sutherland would walk into his office, a copy of the ad in her hand. Nor did he expect to be accused of her murder after her body was discovered half-hidden under the Atlantic City boardwalk.

In the best tradition of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, Damien Dickens must rely on old-fashioned detective work to find Celine’s killer and clear his own name.
