Mulholland Books is publishing this book on the 2oth of June and I got my egalley from Net Galley (thank you both).
Hardie had a really bad case in his past that caused his partner and the partner's family to die. Hardie himself barely survived and he truly wished he had died then and they had lived. He couldn't change what happened but he changed his career. He was now a house sitter for the rich and famous. It made a change, and he could watch old movies and drink all he wanted. He was as happy as he was going to get. At least he was relatively happy until he found out someone else was already in the vacant house he was supposed to sitting. A very paranoid somebody else who was trying to kill him...
This is complex plot of Hollywood, contract killers, and cold blooded executives who only care about the money. If Hardie is not very careful, he'll end up dead like he wanted. But he suddenly realizes there is another family in danger, and he can't die without trying to fix that.
The story is fast paced with technological gadgets that are amazing. Most of the characters are partly insane. And Hardie is on the run for the whole story. The ending is a kicker. I expect there will be a sequel to this book.
If you like hardboiled detectives who live on mean streets, this book is for you. Why is it when you'd like to die, you can't?
Happy reading.
