Mr B's review
One for the Philip Marlowe fans. Hap is an LA private detective doing his best to stay out of trouble, but when a body materializes inside his own home, turns out trouble’s come for him. Violence ensues, but it’s Hap’s darkly comic flair that gets him out of one bad situation after another, all so that he can make it home in one piece to George, his beloved canine buddy. – Laura
Description
Meet Happy Doll
Hank to his friends. He’s a LA private detective living a quiet life along with his beloved half-Chihuahua half-Terrier, George.
He’s getting by just fine
When he’s not walking George or sipping tequila, Hap works nights at the Thai Miracle Spa, protecting the women who work there from clients who won’t take “no” for an answer.
Until he kills a man
Usually Doll avoids trouble by following his two basic rules: bark loudly and act first. But after a deadly fight with a customer, even he finds himself wildly out of his depth…
A Man Named Doll is both a hilarious introduction to an unforgettable character, and a high-speed joyride through the sensuous and violent streets of LA.
