Welcome to the world of Mas Raike, a politically incorrect private investigator and self-described runt of James Bond’s litter. Operating in the infamous Bed-Sty area of Brooklyn, more cynic than saint, he has no problem stretching the law, short of murder, as he explains in the case of That SOB. His life is filled with Runyonesque type characters, some engaging, some ruthless.

Meet Bennie the Mouth, who never lets the fact that he is a disbarred attorney interfere with his practicing law, or Kenny O, a likeable convicted killer and rapist. Follow Mas as a Little Angel peels away his cynicism revealing an inner softness, as he struggles to resist her charms and maintain his life style filled with junk food, booze, and gambling.

Despite dealing with serious crimes - murder, drugs, bank robbery, extortion and kidnapping – Mas remains a comic figure, sometimes sinner, sometimes sinned, but always memorable. Leave behind your preconceptions about private investigators and their deductive skills and follow Mas as he ineptly, but successfully, survives.

Mas Raike and his gang of irreverant and politically incorrect
associates will have you glued to your chair in a New York minute.
You won’t move until Mas solves the mystery and you’ve wiped
away your tears of laughter!
