About this listen

Cal Claxton is determined to reinvent himself as a small-town lawyer in the aftermath of his wife's suicide. Once a hard-charging Los Angeles prosecutor, he now lives in solitude in an old farmhouse overlooking Oregon's wine country. When a scruffy, tattooed kid shows up asking for help in solving a cold case - that of his mother's murder - Cal wants to say no. Times are tough, and he's no private eye, anyway. But the kid, who calls himself Picasso, has ridden a bicycle in the rain all the way from Portland, and something about his determination touches Cal.

It turns out that Picasso is homeless, joining the legions of kids who are drawn to Portland's Old Town. He is also a gifted artist in the process of painting a mural on the side of a health clinic run by an idealistic doctor named Anna. Things take an ugly turn when Picasso is charged with the murder of a prominent Portland businessman. The evidence against him is overwhelming, but Cal steps in to defend Picasso at Anna's urging. Suddenly, Cal finds himself pitted against the police, the media, and some of Portland's most powerful citizens.

Is Picasso being framed? And if so, is there a connection between the two murders? Cal's desperate search uncovers a dark web of blackmail, deception, and a lineup of suspects from Portland's A-list. As he peels back the layers of truth, he realizes too late that he has put both himself and Anna in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer.

This is hysterical!

I don't know which is funnier, the writing or the narrator! The writing is classic "B" movie, B&W, 1940s detective and the narrator's reading of the stilted, corny descriptions and dialog is Oscar Worthy. What a hoot! Enjoy.

Good listen

Despite referring to a Glock 17 as a revolver (twice) it’s a really good listen.

Good book with Left leaning politics.

Definitely shoved the lefts viewpoints on you. Also had what they thought of as a Conservative. I have NEVER met a Conservative who acted the way this one is portrayed.

The story line was great, I couldn’t put it down, characters were awesome unlike some, it doesn’t force you to jump all over the countries having to figure out who and where now

Not bad.

Better then I thought it would be. I was a street kid so it hit home for me. Storyline is good, narration is good.

Good read, engaginggreat narrator!

Good story, interesting characters, a bit too many potentially fatal encounters renders the plot unlikely
