The Bad Kitty Lounge

Greg Samuelson, a bookkeeper, hired Joe Kozmarski to dig up dirt on his wife and her lover, Eric Stone. But Samuelson has taken matters into his own hands. It appears he's torched Stone's Mercedes, killed his boss, and shot himself, all in the space of an hour. The police think they know how to put together this ugly puzzle. But as Kozmarski discovers, nothing's ever simple. Eric Stone wants to hire Kozmarski to clear Samuelson. Samuelson's dead boss, known as the Virginity Nun, has a saintly reputation but a red-hot past. And a gang led by an aging 1960s radical shows up in Kozmarski's office with a backpack full of payoff money, warning him to turn a blind eye to murder. At the same time, Kozmarski is working things out with his ex-wife, his new partner, and his live-in nephew. If the bad guys don't do Kozmarski in, his family might.
