Parker! The author of \u003cb\u003eThe Detective \u0026amp; The Pipe Girl\u003c\/b\u003e—nominated for both the Nero Wolfe and Shamus Awards—returns with another whip-smart, funny, and propulsive mystery featuring singular Los Angeles P.I. John Darvelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrivate Detective John Darvelle is back—drinking cheap beer, playing ping-pong and sharing his philosophy on everything from work\/life balance to restaurants with bad air-conditioning. (He doesn’t believe in the former, he despises the latter.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarvelle is hired to find the killer of Keaton Fuller, a well-born Los Angeles man gunned down in his own driveway. The cops couldn’t solve the case, in part because everyone who came in contact with Keaton despised him. Translation: Anybody could have done it. Following a trail of the dead man’s betrayals, Darvelle finds himself in the exotic, high-stakes world of rare tropical fish. The fish are certainly valuable enough to kill for, but is there something more menacing going on?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Darvelle relentlessly drives toward the truth, a showdown awaits that is at once riveting, visceral, and very, very dangerous. It’s a case only he could solve—just as long as he’s willing to put his life on the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045866225904,"sku":"9780062439376","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062439376_p0.jpg?v=1763631561","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062439376","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
