A Gambling Man by David Baldacci

4.0

I have loved hard boiled noir detective stories since i was young, and A Gambling Man by David Baldacci is just that. It's the second book about Aloysius Archer and they only get better for every book. It's almost 1950 and Archer is moving west to see if he has what it takes to be a private investigator. On his way he wins some money in a casino in Reno and that leads him to a 1939 Delahaye and the company of liberty who wants to be a moviestar. After a long roadtrip they get to Bay Town California where Archer takes his first steps as a P.I. Then the troubles arrive, while investigating a blackmailing it soon turns into murder. I really like this new series, well written as everything by Baldacci.
