The Perkins Predicament
When Evelyn Perkins walks into his cramped office at Pacific Assurance & Indemnity, she brings more than just questions about her husband's supposed suicide. She brings trouble. The police say Randall Perkins, a quiet accountant, put a bullet in his own brain. His widow says otherwise.
As Slade digs deeper, he uncovers a deadly web of lies that spans from smoke-filled jazz clubs to the highest offices of City Hall. With a seductive sister-in-law, corrupt cops, and a notorious nightclub owner all playing their parts in this deadly game, Slade will need more than his Army training and investigator's instincts to survive.
In a city where everyone has something to hide, the truth could be his last case.
THE PERKINS PREDICAMENT is a hard-boiled noir thriller that weaves murder, blackmail, and forbidden romance into a tale of corruption that reaches from the gutters to the penthouses of 1950s Los Angeles.
