[.ca] Love, Death, and the Toyman (ISBN 1594144907)

A SHOTGUN BLAST IN THE PANTS!:
Strap yourself into your easy chair and get set for a wild ride. Love Death and the Toyman is very likely the world's first hardboiled toy dealer novel. Actually, hero Jack Lorentz is a former hardboiled investigative reporter turned baby-boomer collectible trader who gets sucked back into action by a sexy ex-fiancé and her aristocratic in-laws. Jack confronts a cast of wicked and wacky characters in his quest to discover who dumped a body (or is it two?) on the family's exclusive resort property. It's a whirlwind tale of mystery, sex, love, politics, humor, snobbery, adultery, violence, tenderness, Doo-Wop, a Lone Ranger wrist watch and a Betty Boop mantel clock, sweeping you along to a slam-bang finish. It's a shotgun blast in the pants! Buy it!
