"'Farewell and Goodbye my Maltese Sleep' is an hilarious take on the classic 1940-50s detective novel. Full of delicious word-play, hilarious vignettes and running gags the book reminds me of film comedies like “Airplane!”, “Top Secret” and “Naked Gun” - the jokes, puns and word-play come at a frantic pace. Fans of vintage Hollywood will enjoy the appearances of many famous actors (and – more obscurely – there is also a riotous deep dive on the history of the Pacific Coast Baseball League). A fun read!" - Bill Greenizan

About the Book

In the second funniest novel ever written, a mysterious woman hires L.A. private dick Dave Wyznicki. She’s not who she says she is and, as it turns out, she doesn’t even look like herself. Her story is probably a lie, but that doesn’t deter Wyznicki from entering a world of valuable coins, missing sisters, Hollywood, baseball, HUAC, shady nightclubs, and a myriad of nefarious characters. And he may even have a chance with Ava Gardner.
