Description

On the verge of bankruptcy private investigator Mitch O'Reilly takes any gig that comes his way while running his Eye Spy Supply shop in a forgotten Los Angeles strip mall. After two tours in Afghanistan, Mitch's life amounts to running his store, coping with his fun-loving sister, Josie, and scoring with anonymous men he meets online. That changes when he gets a break. A beloved comedy scriptwriter is murdered at a bathhouse, and Mitch is hired to prove the innocence of the club custodian. Adapting from a two-bit gumshoe to a high-profile sleuth proves more challenging than he expected. Following leads from sprawling mansions to sketchy hoods is demanding but becomes more troublesome when deadly threats jeopardize the biggest opportunity of his career. This is a whodunnit mystery. This is an element of romance but do not expect this to be a m/m romance novel.

"A Body in a Bathhouse is an accomplished work of LA noir---niftily plotted, atmospheric and sexy, often witty. I look forward to finding Mitch O'Reilly in further problematical venues." -Richard Stevenson, author of the Don Strachey PI novels.
