Prizefighter-turned-PI Donald Dugan has been going through a rough patch, between clients who are reluctant to pay for services rendered and Poopsie, his secretary’s borderline psychotic lapdog.

When Lt. Hammond, his friendly enemy on the force, suggests a week of solitude and fishing in rural Louisiana as a surefire cure for his woes, Dugan gladly accepts. Things go fine until he finds the dead man dressed in a clown suit floating in the bayou.

I've liked the author's stories since his comic book days. In this mystery, big city private eye Donald Dugan has inherited a property in the great swamp, but finds a body of some sort of thug in a clown suit there.

A quite enjoyable noir listen as Donald encounters a series of unsavory sorts.

I liked the narrator here, I'll need to try to get further into the Dar'ryn Series he did.

Recommended.

How did he end up dead in a clown suit?
