Sinclair Rutherford is a young Seattle cop with a taste for the finer things. Doing menial tasks and getting hassled by superiors he doesn't respect are definitely not "finer things". Good police work and bad luck lead him to crack a case that changes quickly from a career-making break into a high-profile humiliation when footage of his pursuit of the suspect - wildly inappropriate murder weapon in hand - becomes an Internet sensation.

But the very publicity that has made Rutherford a laughing stock in the department lands him what could be the job opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to work with a team of eccentric experts, at the direction of a demanding but distracted billionaire. Together, they must solve the murder of a psychologist who specialized in the treatment of patients who give people "the creeps".

There is no shortage of suspects.

I really enjoy Scott Meyer's books, they are funny and clever and always a fun ride. And I am a huge fan of Luke Daniels! He gives each character their own clear voice and personality. The experience of listening to Scott's books is so great with him at the mic.

amazing performance!

Really like these sort of stories of unlikely acquaintances working together, especially when the author makes it feel so natural. A very fun listen.

good mystery, characters and humour

Scott meyers never fails in making me love all of his interesting, unique and witty titles. The book may be a little short but thats because information previously explained does not get repeated over and over again treating his reader like they cannot remember anything. can't wait for his next release.

Sick as heck.
