The Shoulders of Giants (A Jake Abraham Mystery), by Jim Cliff. (Still free?)Here's a well-reviewed mystery in the "noir" tradition! Newly-minted PI Jake Abraham lands his first case: find Susan Patterson, the daughter of a disgraced Chicago cop. The matter gets complicated when Susan's body turns up, and Abraham's rookie skills are put to the test. Free today!
"The author did a great job developing the characters in this book. Jake had a rather endearing habit of self-depreciation which was entertaining, and I felt that I had a good sense of all the main characters in this story. I had no idea who the killer was until it was revealed almost at the end of the book. It was well written and edited and the author did a good job of tying up all the loose ends. This is definitely a book that I would recommend." -- Tumbleweed, Amazon reviewer
A missing girl. A ruthless killer. A rookie P.I.
Jake Abraham is a child of the 80s, brought up by Jim Rockford, Thomas Magnum and three beautiful girls who worked for a man named Charlie. He's loving his new job as a Private Investigator and already has his first client - a disgraced former police captain whose daughter has disappeared.
When the girl shows up dead, Jake is drawn into a dangerous world of organised crime, police corruption, infidelity and serial murder.
With a terrified city in the grip of a killer who's always one step ahead of the police, how can a raw young P.I. hope to make a difference?
The Shoulders of Giants is a fun, fast paced thriller in the mold of Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker.

All stories are set in the same world, and some are slightly related, but each story is different and deals with new characters and aspects of this future world. Read the stories in order, the author has done a marvellous job of unfurling the world with the placement of each story. Highly recommended." -- Nosnilla, Amazon reviewer
