The Counterfeit Matter - Paperback

by Lou Rossi (Author)

New Year's Eve, 2014. Buffalo, New York. Private Detective Lou Romoso is sitting at his desk reminiscing about how much he hates the stupid, made-up holiday when there's a knock at his door. Grumbling, he reluctantly lets the potential client come in. At first, he is sure glad he did, because in walks a damsel in distress, a beautiful blonde in need of his help.

However, what she has to say quickly changes his mind. Counterfeit money? Old-time gangsters? Murder? No thanks, sweetheart. Lou sends her on her way. But the hook was set. His mind churns after she slams his door. Against his better instincts, he starts investigating the case.

In doing so, he begins to unravel a conspiracy spanning decades, and borders on the unbelievable. The case brings him all the way back to the 1950s, the heyday of the City of Good Neighbors. The bad guys seem to be one step ahead of him, though, and it's putting the people around him in danger. Solving the case while keeping his friends and family alive will take everything Lou has. It's a good thing he's the best in the business; just ask him.
