I enjoyed this book - it was a little bit of a rough start to begin with but once the story got going it was pretty interesting. I enjoyed the twist and figured out they why but the who done it was a good twist if you follow the traditional "detective" story line. A good read if you enjoy the mystery and have that old timey noir feel to it. Oh I should mention there is an excessive amount of talk about boobs, sex, etc...but it's from a mid-twenties guy's perspective...I wouldn't expect anything less.

Benji Golden works in his family's struggling mom-and-pop business above a twenty-four-hour diner on Broadway and 103rd Street. Golden Legal Services, a private detective agency, was started by Benji's hero-cop father. The business is now run by Benji's mother, who used to be the only Jewish pole dancer in New York City, and is staffed by Lovely Rita, an eye-popping computer wizard and a former lap dancer. Baby-faced Benji--who is exactly one-quarter-inch shy of five foot six, weighs a buck thirty-seven, and answers to the nickname "Bunny"--specializes in tracking down teen runaways. One day, when a lawyer in fancy shoes arrives from Park Avenue's classiest law firm offering a job and lots of money, Benji and his mother can't say no. Bruce Weiner is a senior at prestigious Canterbury College. A client of the firm has bestowed a considerable inheritance on Bruce, but Bruce has gone missing, and it's up to Benji to find him. One murder later, Benji finds himself on a dangerous investigation that will take him to the highly secretive core of the most powerful city on earth. Runaway Man delivers all that a David Handler novel promises: smart humor, a thrilling and sexy story, and characters you won't soon forget. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

When a prestigious Manhattan law firm hires a mom & pop detective agency to find a missing college student, the deal seems a little hinky, but Benji Golden and his mother let the size of the retainer gloss over any suspicions they may have.
As Benji tries to track down the student, he finds numerous things that don't add up. And then people begin dying.
The observant reader will pick up on the "whydunnit" fairly early on, though Handler manages to keep the "whodunnit" portion under wraps almost to the very end. (Hint -- it's not who you think it is.)
Entertaining read, but don't expect anything earth-shattering. ( )
