My story is a modern take on the hard-boiled, private eye. My protagonist isn’t a retired ex-cop like Spenser, Philip Marlowe, or Carlotta Carlyle. He failed to pass the police academy twice, so he became a bail agent (or bounty hunter) instead. After a few years chasing bail jumpers, he decided to become a private investigator.

Unlike other stories, where the protagonist is usually somewhat older, my protagonist is in his later twenties. He isn’t a hardy boy, but he’s not Spenser either. Most private eye stories will ignore events in previous stories, but in my series, the cases Angelo work will have an effect on him and shape him throughout the course of the series, like Dennis Lehane’s Kenzie and Gennaro series.

I have only an excerpt up, but I am constantly trying to improve my manuscript in hopes that someone out there likes what they read see potential in my work.
