Product Description
Meet Vic Valentine, a San Francisco private eye whose romance is on the rocks, with a twist. An abusive, alcoholic baseball player has hired him to find his missing wife. Trouble is, it turns out she's also Vic's long lost lover. Coincidence? Fate? A setup? Join a hopeless romantic on his quest for the answer in this twisted tale of old-fashioned romance gone awry in a shadowy, postmodern world of lovelorn losers, vengeful vice, dangerous deceit and swingin' Sinatra songs.

About the Author
William Viharo was born in New York City in 1963, though he believes a mistake was made somewhere and that should have been the year he died after a long life writing wildly successful pulp novels and making love to adoring Hollywood starlets. He looks like a blond Elvis.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great intro to a new neo-noir detective series., May 14, 1997

By A Customer

This book is the first in the "Vic Valentine, Private Eye" series, and it's really well done. The story is great, so are the characters. The dialogue and internal description are best of all. I can't imagine how someone could write this stuff without living it. I have now given 7 or 8 copies of this book as gifts. The second book, "Fate is my Pimp", promises to be even better. I've seen excerpts and gone to readings by the author, "William Viharo". Without a doubt, I'll order it as soon as it's published.
