The Condemned Don’t Pay Well: Ray Irish Mystery Case File #3
The Ray Irish Mystery Case Files follow a hard-boiled private detective while he takes on strange cases in crime infested Oyster City. Entering his adopted hometown as a drifter, the war-weary shamus stumbled into violence on his first day. He might struggle to pay the rent to his crazy landlord, but Irish is in his element when either the privileged or the rabble come to him.
Whether his case involves deadly racketeers, seductive grifters, or corrupt cops, the shamus knows justice comes in various forms.
