Mystery Private Eye

THE LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY THIRD INSTALLMENT IN THE MYSTERY SERIES FEATURING JUNIOR BENDER, HOLLYWOOD BURGLAR TURNED PRIVATE EYE

There are not many people brave enough to say no to Irwin Dressler, HollywoodÒ€ℒs scariest mob boss-turned-movie king. Even though Dressler is ninety-three years old, LA burglar Junior Bender is quaking in his boots when DresslerÒ€ℒs henchman haul him in for a meeting. Dressler wants Junior to solve a Ò€œcrimeÒ€ he believes was committed more than sixty years ago, when an old friend of his, once-famous starlet Dolores La Marr, had her career destroyed after compromising photos were taken of her at a Las Vegas party. Dressler wants justice for Dolores and the shining career she never had.

Junior canÒ€ℒt help but think the whole thing is a little crazy. After all, itÒ€ℒs been seventy years. Even if someone did set Dolores up for a fall from grace back then, theyÒ€ℒre probably long dead now. But he can't say no to Irwin Dressler (no one can, really). So he starts digging. And what he finds is that some vendettas never dieÒ€”they only get more dangerous.
