Night Walker and Other Stories

J.T. Valentine is a stylish new writer who has given us an irresistibly funny detective, Max Knight. He's a smart, slightly rumpled everyman, with a sense of humor geared for survival, in this debut collection of five witty mystery stories. Each tale is unusual, nuanced, and totally engrossing. You won't be able to stop with one!

Max's life is full of loose ends he keeps trying to pull together without much success. He has a gorgeous girl friend who doesn't want to marry him, and a boss who keeps trying to fire him. He's a cop who likes to help people more than follow the rules, and if you prod him, he's literate.

He may not be a charm school graduate, but he's funny and curious, and his faith in humanity gets him in and out of trouble all the time. Walk a few miles in his pavement-pounding brogues. You'll be glad you did!
