Runaway Man: A Mystery (A Benji Golden Mystery Book 1)
By David Handler
A missing teen leads a baby-faced private eye into the dark heart of New York City in the Edgar Award-winning author’s “auspicious and amusing debut” (Publishers Weekly).
Benji Golden works in his family’s struggling detective agency above a twenty-four-hour diner. Golden Legal Services was started by Benji’s hero-cop father and is now run by his mother, who used to be the only Jewish pole dancer in New York City.
Benji—who is exactly one quarter-inch shy of five-foot-six, weighs a buck thirty-seven, and answers to the nickname “Bunny”—specializes in tracking down teen runaways. But when a Park Avenue lawyer shows up offering a job and lots of money, Benji finds himself chasing after some serious trouble.
College senior Bruce Weiner has just inherited a considerable fortune. He’s also just gone missing. One murder later, Benji is on a dangerous investigation that will take him to the highly secretive core of the most powerful city on earth.
