Description
The deceased are judge and jury. They have an executioner.
Kelly Jenks knows the dead boy is going to show him something awful. Jonathan is seven. He never wears shoes, and his feet are always clean. He cruises between this world and the next in a 1967 Cougar XR7. Jonathan has a message for Kelly: There is a faceless man preying on the city’s homeless.
Jackie Carmichael hires Kelly to find an employee who has vanished. The case appears simple at first, but Kelly soon discovers that the missing girl is not who she seems. As Kelly attempts to separate the facts from the lies, Jonathan brings him another message: Jackie Carmichael is hiding something.
With the beaches, mansions, and dive bars of Orange County, CA as the backdrop, Caffeine & Nicotine is a dark and brutal look at what happens when the dead pass sentence.

Really fun read about an unconventional PI named Kelly Banks (he thinks he has a girl's name, so he only dates women with boys' names - just one of his many quirks). Banks perceives himself as a psychopath, but not a murderous one, while everyone around him perceives him as a deeply caring, perceptive surfer dude. Oh, and he also interacts with the dead - sometimes. Great writing, unique characters and a good plot. As soon as I finished CAFFEINE AND NICOTINE, I purchased and read the first Kelly Banks novel, THE INTERVIEW, which was equally intriguing.

In this book Jackie was a wonderful, strong and likeable character. She meets Kelly, a private investigator, although she doesn't know it yet. Kelly is a strong hotheaded private investigator who shows his more gentle side as we delve further into the book. Jackie is looking to make sure one of her employees, who has come up missing, is ok. I genuinely liked this book and I would love to read more from this author. I love how it incorporated paranormal, suspense, romance and legal all into one book!
