Mistake In Identity — Terry Persun

This Noir Detective novella by Award Winning novelist Terry Persun is for readers of Zane, Westlake, Block, Parker, and Ellis â€" Book Description: Mistake in Identity is a noir detective novel about Simon Harry, a straight-shooting, foul-mouthed, homicide detective with a stripper girlfriend. Simon isn't well liked by the rest of the force, so when he's paired with Sergeant Richard Good for his latest case, things feel a little too ironic. The case seems pretty cut-and-dry -- drugs, murder, easy enough -- but that assessment quickly changes. With several mistakes in deduction, and a few unexpected twists, the investigation becomes more complicated. Pretty soon, Good and Harry find themselves in the middle of a prostitution ring headed by a couple wishing to make a quick buck. It appears the couple was also involved in the murder. As Harry gets close to solving the case, the crooks capture him and Good, which puts their lives in danger. But their first priority is to save the young girls, then they can attempt to escape with their lives. Mistake in Identity is a fun read filled with amateurs and professionals, but most of the time, it's hard to tell the difference between the two.
