The Gold-Plated Sewer

The second action-packed, hard-boiled Vince Slader PI novel When Freddie Sharpe starts to sing a million teenagers get sent the facts of life. Special delivery…

Ex-cop turned PI Vince Slader is hired to protect Freddie Sharpe, an obscenely rich, obscenely arrogant, obscenely talented, and obscenely obscene big name singer… who moves through the sin-filled mansions, back alleys, bars, clubs and studios of Tinseltown with an entourage of hangers-on and sycophants, any one of whom could be homicidally jealous of their not-so-benevolent benefactor.

Demaris saturates the prose with gunplay, fast cars and sexy women. The criminals are edgy, but the hero is a valid, uncompromising tough guy who serves as the perfect crime combatant. The Paperback Warrior
