The Immaculate Deception

By William James Royce

"A Chandler-esque noir detective tale featuring an ex-cop turned private eye, set among the gritty motels and palatial estates of Los Angeles. Sullivan is depicted as a first-person narrator in the Philip Marlowe mold-a smart-mouthed shamus, a gumshoe who's seen it all. Like Marlowe, he's at heart a decent, moral man in a world where such people are rare. At book's end, readers may wonder about Sullivan's fate, but they can take heart in the book's subtitle: A Tom Sullivan Mystery. Sully's not going anywhere anytime soon." Kirkus Reviews Tom "Sully" Sullivan is hired by Sam Collier, a rich and powerful man, to find the young surrogate mother who is carrying the heir to his vast fortune. Sully follows the twists and turns, ultimately exposing a complex case of "embryo-napping."
