Books by J. Bruce Monson
A down-on-his-luck private eye awakes with a beautiful blond in bed with him. Who is she? Why is he sharing a bed with her? Why can't he remember where he is–or worst of all, WHO he is? The intrepid hero must slowly regain his memory in order to solve, not just one murder, but two. A small-time hood, a mysterious disturbed young lady in red, and a drug lord named Quo Min Ta confound him at every turn. Perhaps our detective is on the wrong side. He and two girlfriends concoct their own sly plan.
Book endorsement from my editor:
"This story is full of mystery along with interesting and funny characters right from page 1. The plots, sub-plots, red herrings, etc., are extremely well interwoven into the story. The author had me guessing the entire time." Ruth Blaikie, Editor - FirstEditing.com
Chapter 1
____ Pain! Sharp, incessant pain throbbed deep inside my skull. I awoke with a start and immediately my eyes squinched shut tightly against the brutal assault of the daylight. As I cautiously cracked open an eyelid, a shaft of sunlight streaking in through the window forced me to slam my eye back shut. What was that annoying rat-a-tat-tat? Squinting this time against the onslaught of unwelcome light, I could just make out a backlit bird-shaped halo outside the window; a woodpecker intent on banging his brains out on the eaves. Stupid bird!
