About this listen
Teddy Lint is the kindest private investigator on the planet, committed to seeing the best in everyone he meets. The detective agency he runs out of a Los Angeles strip mall with his brother Ralph has seen a strange case or two before, but never anything like this.
A man claiming to work for the CIA hires the Lints to find a shipping container of radioactive Agent Orange that vanished over fifty years ago. He insists someone is planning on using an army of drones to drench L.A. with the deadly chemicals before the week is out.
The Lint Brothers enter a maze of bizarre suspects, from nefarious ad executives, to anarchistic Boy Scouts, to a toga-clad militia fighting for exclusive rule by women. The propaganda-obsessed society that seems to be running the world is probably worth looking into as well.
The power of empathy collides with the dangers of disinformation as Teddy fights to save the people he loves. Our beloved detective doesn't give up easily, but any Angelenos with an aversion to death by herbicide might want to dust off that umbrella, just in case . . .

Teddy Lint for President
This was a fantastic 21st century spin on the L.A. noir story. The pace was frenetic and the writing was whip smart.

Playful and Clever
A metamodern romp that never takes itself too seriously, except for how seriously kind and likeable the main character is (it's lovely). I quite enjoyed "For Your Benefit" as an entertaining vacation listen, full of imaginative events, quirky details and hilarious vignettes that left me wishing for more, or perhaps a movie???

Loved the story, characters, and dialogue. Performance was top notch from the author himself! I hope there’s a follow up and I can’t wait for his next release!
