Flesh Wound

Who killed Bobbi Flynn? This is the puzzle private investigator Dan Rudnicki has been hired to solve. But in unravelling how the actress's mutilated body came to be washed up on Vancouver's Wreck Beach, Rudnicki finds himself plunged into a seedy underworld. With a suspect list filled with pimps, prostitutes and Hollywood powerbrokers, the investigator's pursuit of the killer leads him through the wilds of the coastal mountains and the tangled world of trans-sexualism. An explosive page-turner, Flesh Wound is the first in an exciting series of Dan Rudnicki Mysteries by Paul Grescoe.
