Blue Butterfly: A Detective John Bowers Mystery

Detective John Bowers is a wily veteran with the Portland Police Bureau. The only mystery Bowers hasn't solved in 23 years behind the badge is blonde and comes in all flavors. The last split cost him his house, his furniture, his drift boat and his motivation. John blames it all on bloodsucking divorce lawyers.

Tracking a call girl's killer through Portland's sleazy sex trade, John and his new partner Minola Raye (Betty Boop with a nine mm on her hip) discover a Bureau cover-up and unravel a VIP's dirty little secrets in a job they sometimes love to hate.
