A Man Named Doll

By: Jonathan Ames

Narrated by: Jonathan Ames

Meet Happy Doll.

Hap to his friends. He's a LA private detective living a quiet life along with his beloved half-Chihuahua, half-terrier, George.

He's getting by just fine.

When he's not walking George or sipping tequila, Hap works nights at the Thai Miracle Spa, protecting the women who work there from clients who won't take 'no' for an answer.

Until he kills a man.

Usually Doll avoids trouble by following his two basic rules: bark loudly, and act first. But after a deadly fight with a customer, even he finds himself wildly out of his depth....

A Man Named Doll is both a hilarious introduction to an unforgettable character, and a high-speed joyride through the sensuous and violent streets of LA.

"Shot through with darkly comic flourishes. Motel, money, murder, madness: it has all you need to keep you happy." (The Times, Thriller of the Month)
