Description
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: “I’m dead, darling. Get out of your chair and look in the ice tray.” 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 Billie’s murderer—without joining her in the morgue.

Advance Praise
“Lover 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
“Artie Deemer is a true original – the
frantic, antic humor carries along the characterization and narration
like twin, runaway trains.”
Chicago Sun-Times

Duke, Prez, Count and more. I have heard of most of them and even enjoyed their music. But I would have been happier if it were Mick, Janis, Jimi. More of a Rock ’n Roll person. That aside a darn good read. Not sure if the many characters would have made the story as interesting without the dog. Think of yourself as the owner of Lassie or Nipper. The royalties would let you live comfortably. But of course the intrusion of police and the villains make the story. With many a twist and turn and like any great story plenty of “I did not see that coming” events. Keeps you guessing and turning pages. The first Brash book I have read leaves me with great expectations. This is enjoyable entertainment and that is what makes a good read a great read.
