Lover Man (Artie Deemer Book 1)

Lover Man (Artie Deemer Book 1)

The widely acclaimed, Edgar Award finalist hailed by Publisherâ€™s Weekly as one of the best novels of the year.

Artie Deemer lives off his dog Jellyroll, the most famous canine in the country, star of movies, TV, and dog-food advertising. Artie hangs around the apartment, smoking a little pot, listening to jazz, trying to keep the world away. But then his ex-lover, Billie Burke, is murdered and he receives a note from her: â€œIâ€™m dead, darling. Get out of your chair and look in the ice tray.â€ And so begins the wild, unpredictable ride. Artie becomes a reluctant sleuth, dodging hoods, blackmailers, killers, and crazy combat pilots as he struggles to uncover Billieâ€™s murdererâ€”without joining her in the morgue.

â€œLover Man is a first novel of unusual skill with amazing characters... the writing is flip and sophisticated." New York Times

"Lover Man is a bouncy, quirky, funny mystery with racy dialog. The story line makes more twists and turns than a New York cabdriver running up the meter." Washington Post

â€œArtie Deemer is a true original â€“ the frantic, antic humor carries along the characterization and narration like twin, runaway trains.â€ Chicago Sun-Times
