The Firm Client in His Pelican Briefs
A Detective John Evans adventure

Detective John Evans -he's loyal, he's stubborn, and he's got a knack for finding trouble that even trouble didn't see coming.

When a slick-talking defence attorney hires him to dig up dirt before a big political run, Evans figures it's just another grubby job in New Orleans, a city that never runs out of grime. But when his client ends up dangling from a rope like a crooked chandelier, barely breathing, it's clear someone wanted him gone... permanently.

With Shadow, his loyal Boston Terrier at his heels, Evans is knee-deep in a twisted case of ambition and betrayal, dodging dames and boudoirs while trying to keep his marriage intact and his head above water. Everyone's got secrets-some deadly, some dressed in silk. And in a town where briefs aren't always legal and pelicans aren't just birds, Evans must outwit a killer who plays dirty... and never folds.

A fast-paced, wisecracking ride through the shadows of justice, The Firm Client in His Pelican Briefs is soft-boiled noir with a crooked smile. Buckle up. The truth isn't just stranger than fiction-it's lethal.
