An old-school PI is plunged into modern danger and conspiracy in Fast Shuffle, a gripping mystery from TV screenwriter and producer David Black.



Harry Dickinson is a used car salesman living in Springdale, Massachusetts, who believes he is a private detective. His girlfriend, Friday, finds this charming, though she warns him not to get carried away. The local cops are becoming fed up with him. His sister and brother-in-law think he's unstable and too old for such fantasies. They want him locked up.

When Harry stumbles upon the case of a missing woman, he decides to investigate. However, the situation is far more complex-and more dangerous-than he imagines.

Turning to the authorities only makes things worse. Harry witnesses a murder, but no one believes him. With Harry and Friday on the run-hunted by the police, the killer, and even Harry's friends and relatives-their chances for survival look grim. But the man everyone believes is crazy may be the only one who can crack the case.

Praise for this book

“Anyone who loved Chandler's Long Goodbye will flip for David Black's souped-up super-literate take on the post-modern private eye in Fast Shuffle.” —Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler and The Shakespeare Wars

“David Black is a remarkable writer whose command of the hardboiled and the sweet is matchless, not to mention his characters who embody both. Readers of this book are in for a wild ride from beginning to end with a lot of twists and turns that Black negotiates with elegance.” —Carl Bernstein, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
