The Garbage Man: A Steve Jobz PI Thriller

By: Vincent Zandri

He cleans up Albany's filth-one dead body at a time.

When part-time fraud investigator and full-time smart-mouth Steve Jobz gets fired after a disastrous HR meeting, the last thing he expects is a call from homicide. A severed head has turned up in an Albany dumpster-and the cops need Jobz's particular brand of troublemaking to dig up the truth.

Dragged into a brutal case of decapitation, corruption, and revenge, Jobz finds himself wading through the city's sludge: crooked cops, femme fatales, political insiders, and a ruthless killer who thinks beheading is an art form.

But the deeper Jobz digs, the more personal-and bloodier-the investigation becomes. Now the wise-cracking PI must battle his demons, dodge a vengeful garbage man with a taste for pain, and stop a psychotic killer before another body hits the landfill.

Tough, darkly funny, and pulse-pounding, The Garbage Man delivers everything fans love about Vincent Zandri's award-winning thrillers: gritty atmosphere, razor-sharp dialogue, and a hero who keeps bleeding-but never quits.

Perfect for readers of Michael Connelly, Don Winslow, Harlan Coben, and James Lee Burke who crave hard-boiled noir with a modern edge and unapologetic punch.
