Treacherous Estate: crime story (Jack Ludefance PI Series)

"Treacherous Estate" is the introductory novel in the Jack Ludefance PI series, a gripping, fast-paced thriller that mixes modern crime drama with a classic Noir atmosphere. The story, written in the first-person perspective, follows the investigations of Jacques (Jack to his friends and family) Ludefance, an unconventional and sharp-witted private investigator working in the Florida Panhandle. Jack is portrayed as an old-school, ‘think outside the box’ investigator who is not afraid to break rules to achieve justice. He lives aboard his 57-foot Hatteras, named The LUNA SEA, complete with a pet alligator, and faces personal challenges, including his father’s Alzheimer’s. The novel opens with a shocking scene: while Jack is enjoying a quiet Friday night beer at a local restaurant, a beautiful young woman sits down beside him, whispers, “Can you help me, Mr. Ludef…?” and then collapses dead. While authorities rule her death, ‘natural causes,’ Jack suspects foul play and begins his own investigation. He soon discovers that the woman was married to a prominent, highly respected local businessman, who is, in reality, involved in heinous crimes, including corruption, money laundering, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. As Jack begins to uncover the truth, he puts his own life in danger to bring down this powerful, corrupt figure. Treacherous Estate is being praised for its ability to keep readers guessing, with numerous twists that turn a seemingly simple death into a major, dangerous conspiracy.
