The Dummy Case

P.I. Joe Ganzer couldn’t refuse when an elderly puppet maker asks him to locate a magician who owes money for one of his renowned puppets. Little did Ganzer know he would end up the only suspect in the magician's murder. A relentless Chicago Police manhunt forces Ganzer to go undercover.

His two operatives—a former grifter and a part-time jazz sideman—do their best to help but soon start to think the police might be after the right guy after all.

The FBI shows up after fingerprints lifted by the cops at the murder scene come back marked “Classified--Name Withheld.”

Joe Ganzer has one hope—find who killed the magician…and why.
