Irving Ash is a private investigator down on his luck. His life's in the gutter and work has dried up. With bills mounting, he's forced to take a job working security detail at a porn studio.

He's barely started the job when the porn company's highest earning star, Brandi Dyvine, goes missing. Irving can't resist digging deeper into her disappearance, and trails Brandi through the dive bars and deadly streets of Denver—the Mile High City.

A dark noir, in the classic style, with a taste of Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett and Ross MacDonald.

"Pacy, punchy and thoroughly entertaining. Irving Ash is Sam Spade for the 21st century." —Marion Tod

"Packed with dive bars, dirty movies and plenty of dead bodies, it reminded me of the great Carl Hiaasen at his best." —Dan Malakin

"Little Ghost is McDonald cracking his knuckles and displaying his real writing chops. Mature while edgy, brutal yet poignant, punchy yet elegant. A real stand-out crime novel." —Stephen J. Golds
