With The Philistine Gamble, ORourke adds mystery and a noir style to his mantra of Murder, Menace and Merriment. Compost happens. Discount private eye Nick Gamble says that a lot, usually when he opens the mail, but today its worse. Our flawed and philandering PI finds his friend and mentor, Bishop Francis Xavier Augustini, dead in the church office. It doesnt help when one of LAPDs not-so-finest Lieutenant Hardcastle catches Nick at the murder scene and takes him in for questioning. When Hardcastle asks for the thousandth time why Gamble killed his friend, Nick finally confesses. It was Amway. The Bishop said I had to hold meetings, invite my friends. I only wanted to sell the soap. We argued. Nick wants to know who really killed his friend, but the Russian Mafia, the Vatican Police, too many bad cops, and a three thousand-year-old, muscle-bound geezer keep getting in the way. Theyre all after the same thingan ancient manuscript worth millions. Nicks going to need a lot of help, and he gets it. Theres Leo the massive mailman, a mini fridge with a bum leg and a trick door, a secret underwear gun, and Vera Foxxe, Nicks able assistant and long-time bride to bethe sexiest woman on earth. If you dont believe it, ask the Dalai Lama. This double feature will keep you guessingand laughinguntil the last page. Twice. Sorry, youll have to bring your own popcorn. Includes a preview of Toxicity. Attorney Riley Scofield returns in Denis ORourkes exciting prequel to Proposition. Read inside: Acclaim for Denis ORourkes stories.
