Montezuma's Other Revenge: A Paul Mcdonald Mystery Short Story

THE CURSE OF THE PUZZLED PI...
Sometime San Francisco private investigator Paul Mcdonald wears lots of hats: ex-reporter, struggling mystery writer, devoted cat owner, and friend to a number of shady characters--who tend to get him into trouble. Paulâ€™s not so much hard-boiled as smart-mouthed (in a highly charming way!)--and broke.

But this time his $55 an hour fee leads from investigating a friendly burgling-by-acquaintance to a brutal murder. An Aztec sculpture of questionable origin has gone missing, leaving a wake of misfortune that seems to point to a curse: psychotropic drugs, pre-Columbian art, sacrificial maidensâ€¦ Paul traces the statue to a South of Market loft at the intersection of the international art world and a cult devoted to the revival of the Aztec religion.

WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of CASTLE, MURDER SHE WROTE, even ELLERY QUEEN will enjoy this fast-paced and funny take on the mystery-writer-as-detective. As will people who like their male sleuths wry, witty, and a little on the soft-boiled sideâ€”fans of Parnell Hallâ€™s Stanley Hastings, say, Tony Dunbarâ€™s Tubby Dubonnet, Gregory Mcdonaldâ€™s Fletch (this Mcdonald, it's worth noting, is Paulâ€™s personal hero), Lawrence Blockâ€™s Bernie Rhodenbarr, and especially Rex Stoutâ€™s Archie Goodwin. Female sleuths with a sense of humor remind us of him tooâ€”for instance, Criminal Mindsâ€™ Penelope Garcia and the immortal Amelia Peabody (of whom heâ€™d be terrified if they ever met).
