About this listen
Winner of the Florida Book Award Gold Medal and a Best Novel Shamus Award finalist - "[A] thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride... with dark humor so sharp it'll make you bleed." Brian Freeman, New York Times bestselling author
Former Orlando detective Michael Garrity doesn't have a good track record when it comes to women. With two ex-wives and a teenage daughter he rarely sees, the most significant relationship in his life right now is with the tumor in his head. Terminal cancer is no joke, but Mike is determined to make the best of it. He's even named the tumor Bob.
With Bob literally on his mind at all times, Mike needs a distraction. And he gets one when the most popular member of a platinum-selling boy band goes missing. Finding his daughter's favorite pop star might just make him her hero and his reputation desperately needs an upgrade. But his search stirs up blowback from a past case, and the gritty Orlando underworld that Mike thought he had left behind could cut his farewell tour shorter than he ever expected...
©2024, 2007 Thomas B. Cavanagh (P)2024 Thomas B. CavanaghCritic reviews
"Carl Hiaasen fans will be thrilled to know there's a new kid on the block. If you liked Basket Case, you'll flip over Thomas B. Cavanagh's sardonically and outrageously funny lead character, who will rope you in on page one and take you on a wild ride." - Charlotte Hughes, New York Times bestselling author
"A next generation hard-boiled detective novel with a Travis McGee-styled hero whose sidekick is a brain-tumor named Bob." - N.M. Kelby, author of White Truffles in Winter
"Carl Hiaasen and Donald Westlake readers will enjoy Cavanagh's debut, which crackles with cranky commentary on one man's cranial state of affairs." - Booklist

Harrowing story of suspense
Unusual title but very appropriate
C L Berns did an extraordinary job narrating this book. The use of different voices, his annunciation made for easy listing. The story kept my attention.

I was so excited for the next time I could listen
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The story was great, the narrator was great, the length was great. All around a great book. I pray there is a sequel though!! I need more!!!
The story was fantastic and exciting. I didn’t question how things could happen or why, it was realistic. Definitely suspenseful and the dark humor was perfect.

a mix of suspense and mystery that worked for me
I enjoyed the way the author kept this book both realistic and engaging, it was the kind of story that I could believe actually happened to someone but we get the inside view of all of the events. The protagonist was both delightfully grumpy and relatable. The biggest unexpected surprise I got from this book was... the narrator, the way he portrayed these characters and the range he delievered really locked me into the story and made me feel the events that were happening. I'll be looking for more books that he narrates for sure!
