Monkey Business

The Recession of 1937 is hitting hard, and Rick Spade is hungry for work. So when the delectable Miss Faulkner walks into his detective agency with a too-simple request and one hundred dollars, he takes the case against better judgment. Soon the bodies are piling up, and Rick is falling down the rabbit hole. A suspicious lieutenant is breathing down his neck, an insane Nazi scientist plots from the shadows, and homicidal mind-controlled monkeys are roving the streets of New York. To come out on top, Rick needs to think fast and keep his finger on the trigger, but it’s hard to shoot straight when the world is turning upside down.
