Lowdown. Dirty. Shame William Stroud

Jack Hudson is in a pickle. He's not a private investigator, he's a small town, small time writer. But, when a well-to-do acquaintance and fraternity brother asks him to check on his wife, Jack is all ears. He has good reasons. The fraternity brother's wife and Jack are on better than speaking terms. The job sounds simple and there's money on the table for just one night of snooping. But, simple things aren't. Now the wife is missing, Jack is accused, Jack's other girlfriend is again tangled with her ex-husband, the fraternity brother's first wife may also be missing, and Jack's simple life is instantly scrambled and scattered across Cassavora County, several other counties, New Orleans and Charleston. Oh yeah, Jack's brother may be part of a criminal conspiracy, Jack's mother is on her last legs... Damn, my heart is pounding just thinking about it.
