Watch Me Die

Harvey Mapes is a 26-year-old security guard who learned everything he knows about being a private eye from books and TV ... and who is about to discover that the differences between fact and fiction can be fatal.

This was a finalist for the Shamus Award for Best Novel from the Private Eye Writers of America and was formerly published under the title "The Man with the Iron On Badge."
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR LEE GOLDBERG & WATCH ME DIE
"Approaching the level of Lawrence Block is no mean feat, but Goldberg succeeds with this engaging PI novel." Publishers Weekly

A wonderfully fresh voice in the mystery genre, Goldberg will delight fans of Janet Evanovich and Robert Crais," - Rick Riordan, author of "Percy Jackson & the Olympians"

"Lee Goldberg bravely marches into territory already staked out by some fierce competition--Donald Westlake, Lawrence Block, the early Harlan Coben--and comes out virtually unscathed." The Chicago Tribune

"Goldberg has a knack for combining just the right amount of humor and realism with his obvious love for the PI genre and his own smart ass sensibilities. [...]A terrific read. Goldberg is the real deal and should be on everyone's must read list." Crimespree Magazine

 "A quick, fun read with a satisfying and unexpected ending. Harvey Mapes is a hero I hope we see in a sequel." -- Phillip Margolin, author of "Gone But Not Forgotten"
