Blackmail, sexual harassment, murder . . . and a missing dog:
eccentric, eco-obsessed L.A. private eye Charlie Waldo is on the
case in this quirky, fast-paced mystery. Paying a harsh
self-imposed penance for a terrible misstep on a case, former LAPD
superstar detective Charlie Waldo lives a life of punishing
minimalism deep within the woods, making a near religion of his
commitment to owning no more than One Hundred Things. At least,
he's trying to. His PI girlfriend Lorena keeps drawing him back to
civilization - even though every time he compromises on his
principles, something goes wrong. And unfortunately for Waldo, all
roads lead straight back to L.A. When old adversary Don Q
strongarms him into investigating the seemingly mundane death of a
vagrant, Lorena agrees he can work under her PI license on one
condition: he help with a high-maintenance celebrity client, wildly
popular courtroom TV star Judge Ida Mudge, whose new mega-deal
makes her a perfect target for blackmail. Reopening the coldest of
cases, a decades-old fraternity death, Waldo begins to wonder if
the judge is, in fact, a murderer - and if he'll stay alive long
enough to find out. Pay or Play is the third in the Charlie Waldo
series, following Last Looks and Below the Line. Last Looks was
turned into a major motion picture, starring Charlie Hunnam as the
offbeat private investigator.
