After leaving his quiet middle class life, as well as his wife and son, former insurance salesman, Noah Greene, finds himself in steamy Miami, Florida. Near broke and living in a rented office/bicycle shop, Greene fancies himself a hardboiled detective in the tradition of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. His dream seems out of reach until, like a scene from a Bogey movie, a mysterious woman seeks him out to locate her missing brother. But as Noah begins to dig into the brother’s past, he finds himself in immersed in a political scandal and real estate scam that shakes Miami to its core and puts Noah, and anyone he comes in contact with, in danger. E.E. Williams’ first book in the Noah Greene Mystery series introduces Greene as a slightly emotionally damaged, would-be detective who stumbles into both peril and intrigue. With unyielding tenacity, his investigative talents surprise even him as he uncovers the truth about Miami’s dirty little secrets.

Former insurance salesman, Noah Greene, fancies himself a hardboiled detective in the tradition of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but real life can get messy . . . and dangerous. As the bodies, just the bodies, pile up in steamy Miami, Greene, his friends and family, are drawn into a deadly mystery that will change them forever.

The pit is black and deep. The air is thick with the stench of death. And something is moving. Something primal. Something … hungry. Noah Greene vowed that he would never again find himself facing death. The “favors” that he’s done for people in the past left a trail of bodies across South Florida and put those he loves in harm’s way. He’s done, no longer interested in being a hard-ass private detective like the ones on the movie screens he so loves. He also has too many other things on his mind. A son literally scared speechless by a previous case. An angry ex-wife who isn’t answering his calls. Feuding housemates that would kill one another if not for his intersession. And a bullet fragment, compliments of a former client, rattling around inside his skull that threatens to leave him a vegetable. But Noah, a man with a reputation and a streak of luck that’s bound to run out sooner or later, has one great He can’t say no. So when Chad Bouchard asks him to find his long lost father, Michael, and Toni Barnes pleads that he track down her husband, known in the Marine Corps as Tucker the Cutter for the lethally efficient way he cut down the enemy, Noah reluctantly takes on both cases. It’s a decision that will lead him from one bloody encounter to another, one horrifying murder after the next, and eventually down into a yawning black pit. His grave.
