A Murder of Crows?

Thirty-something Minneapolis private detective TONY CROW used to be a Marine and a cop, but he’d like to think his troubled and occasionally fucked-up past is all behind him — it’s a past that also includes an ex-wife and a kid he never sees, and being shot in the gut and the knee while on duty, prompting his early retirement from the force and requiring him to use a cane. And a subsequent addiction to painkillers and a major bout of depression.

But his life still doesn’t seem to be working out all that rosy, which isn’t exactly good news for the all-too-human Tony and his ever-expanding “team” at Crow Investigation Service.

He may still need his custom-made cane to get around, but Tony’s a determined and defiant cuss, trying like hell to make amends for his past. Like, spending more “quality time” with his son Matt is now part of his agenda.

So far, Tony and crew have appeared in eight pleasantly pulpy self-published novels, all featuring “Crow” in the title, and all available as “virtual voice narration” audiobooks.
