Ace of Diamonds

The second Red Diamond private eye novel sees the detective, actually a delusional New York cab driver, solving a mystery in Las Vegas. Red thinks he's a 1940s private investigator, and is willing to take on organized crime in his quest for his lady love, Fifi La Roche. Long out of print, the series earned rave reviews, from the NY Times to the LA Times, when published in the 1980s. The books have been published in France, Spain and Japan, with the debut novel nominated for an Edgar by the Mystery Writers of America. Imagine Raymond Chandler meets Carl Hiassen.
