In Leo Waterman, writer G.M. Ford has created a private detective who tackles cases armed with strong survival instincts—and a deadly sense of humor. In his fifth outing, Seattle's most uncompromising sleuth finds that the laughs are all on him after making a startling discovery at home.

P.I. Leo Waterman is unflappable, irrepressible and unpredictable—a guy who, when facing adversity, would rather throw a punchline than a punch.
