Cases from the Weird Side of Town

Kansas City in the sixties is a boomtown built on crooked politicians, straight whiskey, and ordinary people trying to make it to the next paycheck.It's also a place where strange things happen—and lately, those cases keep finding their way to the office of a certain private investigator. He's got no fancy shingle on the wall, no secretary screening calls, and no patience for ghost stories. He just wants to pay the rent and enjoy a beer in peace. But when the case turns weird—and they always do—he takes it anyway.He doesn't believe in monsters. He believes in doing the right thing. Sometimes, that's the only thing holding back the darkness.Whether it's a wealthy insomniac dreaming of murders that turn out to be real, a ten-cent kiddie ride outside a grocery store that whispers hatred to anyone who gets too close, or a lost little girl in a princess costume who might be Heaven-sent or Hell-bent, these people need help.Good thing he's got friends: Evie, a bartender who's seen it all; Bea, a librarian who knows more than the history books admit; and Benny, the one cop in town who still takes his calls.Cases from the Weird Side of Town is a collection of paranormal noir stories where the humor is dry, the danger is real, and justice comes with a bar tab that might kill you if something else doesn't first.
