When barroom bouncer Joe Dall's ex-wife is murdered, he finds himself pressed into service as a novice private eye.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"The new breed of retro authors isn't getting paid by the word and, therefore, isn't padding thin stories; instead, they're crafting their books with considerable care and quality, and this novel is every bit a winner. Chandler introduces PI Joe Dall in a slick, atmospheric work that captures the underbelly of the 1950s with a sharp eye for detail and a flair for the sinister." --Booklist

"To find a wonderful example of hardboiled detective noir today, you need not look any further than Randy Chandler's latest novel Dime Detective." --Walt Hicks, Hellbound Times

"With the publication of his latest novel, Randy Chandler gives modern readers a truly wonderful taste of a bygone age complemented by today's views on women and minorities ... From Dot Barker, a kind of big sister, to Valentine Cooper and her shotgun, Chandler's characters go beyond the stereotypical dames, dolls, and broads that filled the pulps for a cast of strong, multidimensional, and entertaining characters. Readers can only hope to see them again in a sequel." --ForeWord Reviews
