Dead Men Don't Get Married
by Steve Shrott
Description
Dentist and part-time PI Arnie Katz has a problem. His ex-girlfriend, Debbie, has just been stood up at the altar because the groom is dead. Seems like a fairly good reason to miss a wedding. But that’s not the problem. The problem is that Debbie believes Mickey was murdered and wants Arnie to find out who did it. It’s understandable that he would be a little hesitant. Why would Arnie want to look into the death of the guy who stole his one true love? But Debbie’s persistence pays off, and he finally agrees to investigate. Arnie soon discovers that it’s not as simple as he thought and finds himself trapped between––not one––but two warring crime families. Add to this, the fact that a maniac is killing local orthodontists, and Arnie has his hands full. But it’s what happens next that hits him hardest—Debbie is arrested for murder. As Arnie attempts to sort everything out, he makes sure his pockets are packed with dental probes and picks, so he can defend himself in case he’s captured by bad guys. And there will be bad guys a-plenty before Arnie puts an end to these nefarious activities and figures out just why DEAD MEN DON’T GET MARRIED.
