The Dirt Peddler : A Dick Hardesty Mystery

D. Grey

Tony T. Tunderew's latest barely-fictionalised novel about the scandalous behaviour of a governor has earned him overnight success. Previously an obscure junior executive, he's now writing a second book, which promises to dig up even more dirt, and certain people are very nervous about what kind of inside information he might have picked up. With an ongoing battle with his publisher over rights to the second book, a looming divorce, and blackmail, Tunderew needs a private investigator. Since he suspects a gay man of being the culprit, he turns to gay detective Dick Hardesty.
