⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readers’ Favorite — K.T. Bowes “Working Stiff is incredibly well written… filled with twists and turns sharp enough to give you whiplash.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jonathan Payne, award-winning author of CITIZEN ORLOV "The shady side of Madison Avenue... It's clear Krieger knows this world. Fans of police / PI procedurals will get a kick out of the seedy settings and noir vibes." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bill Walker, Former Manager, Book Clubs, The McGraw-Hill Companies "What makes it sing isn’t just the plot—it’s the authenticity." ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ Michael West, Private Investigator, UCMJ Investigations: “Real-world PI action… couldn’t put it down.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review: “This is a hot fudge sundae of a book — deliciously absorbing.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodreads Review: “I promise you’ll be breathless until the last page." WORKING STIFF is a razor-edged murder mystery set in 1970s New York that strips the genre to the bone — then feeds it something greasy at 2 a.m. Following his divorce and his resignation from the police force, ex-cop Frank Leland scrapes by as a private investigator, photographing cheating partners and earning just enough to cover the bills for his run-down bedsit. Then a former client offers him big money to hide a body — and Frank is curious enough to take a look. Soon he’s toe to toe with an advertising mogul harboring secrets worth killing for. To survive, Frank will have to face not just the killer, but the addiction that’s been eating him alive. Perfect for fans of gritty, character-driven mysteries: A PI who can’t mask the addiction that’s ruining his life A city of broken lights, bad cops, and worse secrets A hardboiled mystery set in the garbage-strewn streets of 1970s NYC Written by a native New Yorker who lived through it Come back to the New York of blackouts, dirty money, and broken dreams — and meet a detective just trying not to break. WORKING STIFF: A Frank Leland Mystery There’s nothing cozy about it.
