One hospital. One gunwoman. One livestreamed nightmare Dick Moonlight can’t walk away from.

The Thriller and Shamus Award–Winning Series Continues—Live, Loaded, and Exploding in Real Time.

When hard-boiled private investigator Dick Moonlight agrees to be the post-op ride home for his sometime sidekick Roland Hills—aka Fat Elvis, he expects boredom, bad coffee, and a long wait.

What he gets instead is a hospital turned war zone.

Inside the Albany Surgical Center, a stunningly beautiful inmate—temporarily transferred for a routine medical procedure—guns down her law-enforcement escorts in cold blood and takes doctors, nurses, and patients hostage. Her demand? She won’t release a single soul until the doctors perform an immediate sex-change operation.

As tensions spike, bullets fly, and anti-police protesters swarm outside, Moonlight is trapped in the middle of one of the most dangerous and bizarre hostage situations of his career.

And just to raise the stakes even higher?

The entire standoff is being streamed live on Facebook.

With lives on the line, media pressure mounting, and the situation spiraling out of control, Moonlight must navigate a volatile mix of violence, politics, identity, and chaos—knowing that one wrong move won’t just get people killed… it’ll happen in front of the world.

Fast, furious, and ripped from today’s headlines, this is Dick Moonlight at his most desperate—and most dangerous.

The ninth explosive installment in the Thriller and Shamus Award–winning Dick Moonlight PI series, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Vincent Zandri.

Perfect for fans of gritty, hard-boiled crime fiction by Robert B. Parker, Michael Connelly, Lawrence Block, Don Winslow, Charlie Huston, and more.

🏆 PRAISE FOR THE DICK MOONLIGHT SERIES

“The action never wanes.” — Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

“Gritty, fast-paced, lyrical and haunting.” — Harlan Coben

All the elements of present-day craziness.

Dog Day Moonlight was as much a Dick Moonlight PI tale as it was a comedic exercise. While I’ve chuckled at situations in each of the previous Moonlight books I’ve read or listened to, this story had my sides aching from the imagery of the various situations the characters find themselves in. Starting with Fat Elvis and his colonoscopy prep to the “female” inmate and her lover who take the surgery center hostage there were so many hilarious situations I couldn’t stop laughing. I believe the use of virtual voice to narratee this story was an excellent idea – I can’t imagine how many takes it may have taken a human narrator to get though telling novella. Listening to Dog Day Moonlight was well worth the time spent. Who knows, I just may listen again for the laughs.
