Last But Not Fleeced

Stan, a full-time psychic and part-time amateur sleuth, knows firsthand that the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1972 is anything but boring. How could it be when tacky tourists, looney locals, and the spirits of the dearly departed are as plentiful as shells on the beach?

But all is not well. An ex-con is in town seeking revenge on Stan’s acquaintance, Pinky, and plotting a scam for good measure. Worse, he’s reached out to the darker side of the psychic community for help.

Stan’s on the case with his long-time, pulp-detective-loving girlfriend, Mo. Mo’s as quick to pick up on a hot lead as she is to spout hard-boiled parody lingo. Also on the case is Stan’s spirit-helper—the ghost of the wildly popular 1960s Top-40 DJ Fabulous Frankie. But it’s a mixed blessing as Frankie delivers all his clues in riddle form and only speaks in rhymes.

As the case takes a dangerous and personal turn, Stan calls on his psychically gifted friends for help before everything he holds dear goes out with the tide.

The irreverently funny urban fantasy takes readers through 1972’s Atlantic City dive bars and swanky nightclubs, pizza joints and fancy restaurants, and down the Boardwalk and up back alleys.
