A Slight Case of Death. The Tony Mandolin Mysteries, #1

San Francisco, 1990s. Sometimes it just does not pay to get up in the morning. Tony Mandolin, private eye, beer enthusiast, and the only guy in the phone book dumb enough to take cases involving the supernatural. When a gorgeous redhead hires him to find her missing sister, Tony figures it's just another cheating-husband job. Then the sister turns up dead, the client vanishes, and San Francisco's top Crime Lord has an unsettling interest in one slightly tattered PI.
Suddenly, Tony's dodging: Mob bosses who think he's on the payroll A bent cop who's determined to get his revenge A 7-foot cross dresser who's jealous And one urbane vampire All Tony has going for him is a stubborn streak, a mouth that never shuts up, and the growing suspicion that "A Slight Case of Death" might be the understatement of the century. A Slight Case of Death is the laugh-out-loud first book in the Tony Mandolin Mysteries - perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Simon R.
Green's Nightside, and anyone who thinks Raymond Chandler should have written about bloodsuckers.
