Overview

In the tradition of Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade comes August Riordan, a bass-playing PI full of cynicism and irreverence. Hired by multimillionaire entrepreneur Edwin Bishop, whose advanced software program is stolen, Riordan must navigate his way through the underbelly of the technological and jazz worlds. Decorated by atmospheric photographs that add a new dimension to the hard-boiled genre, this fast-paced book is a modern take on the classic mystery.

Author Biography: Mark Coggins has worked for a number of Silicon Valley computer and venture capital firms. He is the author of short detective fiction published in the New Black Mask and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. He lives in San Francisco, California.

This is a superb new take on a classic mystery form.

San Francisco Chronicle

THE IMMORTAL GAME...is smart, stylish, sexy and amusingly insouciant. It's a true find, a well-written and sophisticated addition to the heralded San Francisco private-detective story.

David Rife

“August Riordan takes the reader on a wisecracking, action-packed ramble through San Francisco's kinky sex milieux, including S/M and bondage emporia.”

Ellen McGarrahan

“Smart, stylish, sexy and amusingly insouciant. It's a true find, a well-written and sophisticated addition to the heralded San Francisco private-detective story … a panoramic tour de force.”
