About this listen
Gold Digger is the pilot novel of The Case Files of Harvey Valentine Private Dick. Written in the tradition of old time radio private detectives, and film noir for the modern era. In this novel, the listener gets inside Harvey's head and learns what makes him tick, and discovers the local corruption existing in Harvey's home town.
Our protagonist, accepts the case of a beautiful woman, who has a plan, and Harvey is part of her plan. Hired to find his client's husband, Harvey discovers more than what he bargained for.
Gold Digger is set in Michigan, with one of its locations taking place in Muskegon Heights. A city of only 10,000 people with a violent crime rate that almost equals Detroit.

Story
When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong—one of the most popular girls in school—disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.

Story
Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.

My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash. The truth is that I'm pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis.
