Samson's Deal - Kindle Fiction

Samson's Deal ( #1, The Jake Samson PI Series) (The Jake Samson Series) 
by Shelley Singer 

Murder, politics, and strange bedfellows…

Ex-Chicago-cop Jake Samson is tired of the rat race. He's living in laid back Oakland, California with a couple of cats and just enough savings to eat canned oysters and accept collect calls from his bemused parents, when an old friend--a progressive political science processor--calls with an enticing offer. Seems the professor's wife was found dead in the backyard of their Berkeley home, and he wants to pay Jake ten thousand dollars (plus expenses) to figure out whodunit.

The police pick up the usual leads; jealousy, dirty politics, and an estate worth killing for. Naturally, since the professor is the dead woman's spouse, he's the primary suspect. Samson doesn't like the guy much, but the case heats up—quite literally--when the professor's office is set afire by a radical right wing activist group, of which, it turns out, the wife was a member.

With his sidekick Rosie, and her justice-dispensing two-by-four, Samson follows a twisted trail leads through the Bay Area's bizarre cultural labyrinth; from pop meditation ashrams to neo-Nazi rallies, to the startling, but all too human truth.

Shelley Singer is the author of ten mysteries, two science fiction novels, one mainstream fiction, and many short stories.
