MURDER ... LOST LOVE ... NEW LOVE ... OLD FRIENDS... NEW FRIENDS ... HARD LESSONS LEARNED MEET TONY RAZZOLITO, AKA THE RAZZMAN - TERRIBLE HUSBAND, GOOD FRIEND, WANNA BE PRIVATE EYE...Tony hadn't worked in months. His wife, Jill, left to go out one night after they had yet another argument. It was just a rehash of the same old thing, really. She wanted to know when he was going to get off his duff and find another job. Tony on the other hand, had spent too many years in dead end sales jobs in retail electronics and appliances and was ready to pursue a career in the profession he'd wanted to be a part of for years; the exciting world of private detecting.The mystery begins with a phone call at three-thirty in the morning from Tony's friend, Detective Joe Humphrey of the Syracuse Police Department. Joe tells him that Jill has been murdered. Tony's emotions hit him like a freight train. Yes, their marriage had issues, what marriage doesn't? But now... now he would never have the opportunity to work things out, to make amends. This is where his mind went first - the fight he and Jill had earlier weighed heavily on him as he headed to the SPD in the middle of the night. He had thought he would have time to tell her he was sorry in the morning.Tony becomes actively involved in the investigation when another girl, a clerk at an advertising agency, turns up missing. Joe backs him via the police department and allows him to spread his wings as a private detective. It's not the way he'd hoped to enter the profession, but there was no turning back now as Tony becomes knee deep in trying to solve his own wife's murder. When the missing girl also turns up dead, there are too many similarities in the murder scenes for the two not to be connected. Even though the women were killed in two entirely different ways, the same type of strange cryptic message was found in blood on the walls at both crime scenes.A chance meeting by his wife and the other woman the year before, started a chain of events that led to the two women being murdered. As Tony digs deeper around the Syracuse area, he finds a clue that points him south to North Carolina. With the help of two new friends and a pretty but tough police Captain in Charlotte, he starts to make some headway on a mystery that seems to make no sense. And to make things just a bit more difficult, Tony wrestles with strong emotions after finding out that his wife might have wanted out of their relationship, and knowing that it's now too late for him to do anything about it.This is the first in a new private eye detective series about a guy who needs a change in his life. But when that change is forced upon him, it's not how he ever imagined it - he knew it wouldn't be easy, and this case... his first case, not only brings out and hones his developing investigative skills, but it also pushes him emotionally... making him question the kind of man he is - all while trying to solve two murders - but if he can get through this with a sound mind, he just might stay alive, get his life back in balance, and become a success in his "Dream Job" as a private eye.* This book contains strong language and some adult sexual situations *
