Hollywood Detective: Jake Hancock Mystery Books (Jake Hancock Private Investigator series Book 1)

Jake Hancock Mystery Books - One

What would you do if you found out your whole childhood was a lie?

The Detective…

Jake Hancock is probably one of the best private investigators in Hollywood. He has everything: a gig with an elite private investigation organization, a luxurious apartment on Hollywood Boulevard, and a hairline that’s looking pretty solid for a thirty-seven-year-old. He only has a sliver of a soul, but his shrink’s working on that.

The Client…

When TV commercial actress Megan Books learns her dad isn't her biological father, which private investigator does she hire to unravel the mystery of who he is? The one man who can probably help her.

The Gig…

Hancock travels from Hollywood to Rodeo, Texas, for a family weekend with Megan and her parents. He poses as Megan’s much-older boyfriend, sleeping on a blow-up mattress by the side of Megan’s childhood bed.

It doesn’t take Hancock long to discover a series of strange inconsistencies:

If the man who’s been posing as her dad isn’t her biological father, then why is it he and Megan look so alike?

Why aren’t her parents in any of her childhood photographs before she was three years old?

And why don’t her parents exist on paper before 1990, the year they supposedly moved to Texas?

The Dilemma…

Through an age-regression hypnotherapy session, Hancock learns that he needs to keep Megan in the dark, because the mystery surrounding her father isn’t simply a case of him being her stepfather. It’s much more bizarre than that. So bizarre that it creates an ethical dilemma for Hancock:

As a private detective, Hancock is bound to uncover the truth. But at what cost to his client, Megan?

In order to investigate her family’s past, Hancock must get balls deep into her family’s present.

Hollywood Detective is the first in a series of comedic crime thrillers starring a private detective so cool, you shouldn't put your tongue anywhere near him.
