Kill Me, Deadly
by Bill Robens

Charlie Nickels has a hard life as a gumshoe in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, and things are only made harder by the murder of a client and the theft of her 300 karat diamond.

With the help of his wise-cracking secretary, Ida, Charlie seeks out the many suspects: smarmy bookworm Clive, equestrian beauty Veronica, snooty butler Wilson, sensitive muscle Louie, and mob boss Bugsy Siegel.

At the center of the case is femme fatale Mona, a nightclub singer who captures Charlie's affections... and suspicions.

Packed with romance, intrigue, and murder, this detective noir is a smart parody that will keep you guessing until the end.
