Die Laughing: An Amos Parisman Mystery (Amos Parisman Mysteries, 4)
L.A.’s oldest and most unconventional Jewish gumshoe is back and more relentless than ever in the highly anticipated fourth Amos Parisman Mystery!
When a legend of late-night comedy is found brutally murdered in his Hollywood home, suspicions immediately fall on his former partner, Benny Wolfe. An unlikely killer, old and frail, Wolfe hasn’t made a public appearance in years. But after an impromptu visit from the police takes an unexpected turn—focusing on the elderly comedian’s unreliable memory—even Wolfe can’t say for sure whether or not he is to blame for his former partner’s murder. His paranoia soaring, this once world-renowned actor hires semi-retired detective Amos Parisman to prove his innocence and track down the real murderer. But can Amos be certain that this washed-up comedian can be trusted?
Gripping, enchanting, and witty as ever, Die Laughing shows the comedy business can be as funny as it is deadly.
