McCurdy Investigations, aka, Sh*ts and giggles Incorporated is fiction, humor, action, mystery, of approximately 49,000 words, and is intended to be first in a series. Book two is in in the works. It is a story about a down and out Private investigator initially hired because of his assumed incompetence by the nefarious groups directing the not so innocent damsel in distress client. The objective of the book is to make the reader smile. The characters are a lovable band of misfits with sharp wit and big egos. Melvin McCurdy and his thuggish wild man partner, Oliver Barnet, struggle to identify the bad guys among a host of nefarious groups. It seems everyone is suspect. Different personalities collide and wit and sarcasm abound. Unlikely relationships develop into a courageous team of outcasts who turn the tables on the greedy criminals. The action heats up and the team must utilize "off the shelf" hillbilly weaponry and cunning to take on the vast firepower and resources of the home grown and international consortium of bad guys who are intent on murder for money.
