Mink Eyes

Peter O'Keefe, Book 1

By: Dan Flanigan

Narrated by: Kaleo Griffith

The year is 1986—the tarnished heart of the decade of greed.

Private detective Peter O’Keefe, a physically scarred and emotionally battered Vietnam vet, is hired by childhood friend and attorney Mike Harrigan to investigate what appears to be a petty mink farm Ponzi scheme in the Ozarks. But quickly O’Keefe finds himself snared in a vicious web of money laundering, cocaine smuggling, and murder—all at the behest of a mysterious mobster only referred to as Mr. Canada. Also caught up in Mr. Canada’s illicit network is the exquisite Tag Parker, who seems to dance between roles as the woman of O’Keefe’s dreams—and his nightmares.

From start to finish, Mink Eyes delivers classic noir crime fiction at its finest.

Excited for the next one!

These characters are really fleshed out, the dialogue and description are incredibly vivid and the story (helped by an incredible narrator) kept me locked in. I am very interested to see where Peter O’Keefe and this story goes from here. I think this was a good first novel and opening book to a series. Definitely will get the next installment when it comes out.

Gross. DNF.

I rarely write reviews, and generally love Crime Thriller books. Not this one. This was way too much toxic masculinity, even for me, a lover of the crime thriller genre. Half way through before I couldn't take it any more. This book was clearly written for the fat old guys telling gross jokes in the locker room. It's a small audience, but Flanigan hit that target audience like a bullseye with Mink Eyes.
