Why read it?
1 author picked Canary in the Coal Mine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Okay, so this main character is Private Investigator, but I loved this book. A good flawed, dubious, tough-guy main character, a sexy femme fatale, dangerous mobsters, and lots of keep-you-guessing plot twists and turns. This page-turner, with great, witty, wise-guy banter, fulfills all that this Neo-Noir Crime Novel fan craves for.
From Steven's list on noir crime with characters that aren’t detectives.
