Someone is following Lauren Lewis. She ducks into the office of PI
Jimmy "Soldier" Riley, not to hire him, but to find out if he's the
one following her. Back when they were lovers he told her if he
ever decided to, she'd never know he was there. It's 1940s Panama
City, Florida. The world is at war, and the growing panhandle
paradise is doing its part. Tyndall Field is training pilots.
Wainwright Shipyard is building battleships. The Naval Section Base
is protecting vessels in the Gulf. The Dixie Sherman Hotel is
hosting celebrities such as Clark Gable. Harry Lewis, a wealthy
banker, is running for mayor, unaware his wife is running for her
life. With a secret to hide and a husband running for mayor in a
city exploding and expanding like no other time in history, Lauren
doesn't want trouble, but she's about to get a double-barrel full
of it. Only one man can help her, and though it might destroy him,
he doesn't mind. Better to die than be the walking wounded. The
story of a guy, a girl, and a gun, The Big Goodbye is Florida Noir
at its finest. "A seductive mix of sudden violence and raw emotion,
Michael Lister's THE BIG GOODBYE is a much-welcome contribution to
the hardboiled, P.I. tradition. Cool stuff." Victor Gischler,
author of GUN MONKEYS and SHOTGUN OPERA "Stylish, retro, and highly
entertaining. Michael Lister's PI Jimmy "Soldier" Riley is a
compelling new noir hero." Jason Starr, author of Twisted City and
Bust "What fun to see 1940s Panama City, Florida through the eyes
of tough, wise-cracking PI Jimmy Riley. This is my kind of book:
tough and violent with snappy dialogue and great atmosphere,
beautiful women with hidden agendas, and a long lost world that we
mostly know through ancient postcards and faded photographs. Get
ready for a suspenseful, romantic and historic ride." Ace Atkins,
author of White Shadow
