Synopsis
Carl Jacobs, a private investigator, agrees to meet an informant, Jimmy The Blue Jaya man Carl grew up with. Jimmy has been a guest in Carls house, and is considered almost a member of the family by Carls wife, Sherry, and their two young daughters. But apparently Jimmy has other friends.
As soon as Carl arrives, Jimmy starts shooting at him from a dark alley. Carl is wounded but returns fire, and Jimmy is killed. Now Carl has to find out why Jimmy
tried to murder him. The solution to this puzzle becomes even more urgent when subsequent attempts are made on Carls life.
The answer he seeks lies somewhere within the maze of a multi-million-dollar insurance fraud scheme perpetrated by an attorney and a chiropractor, and a lot of very greedy accident victims. Some people prove ruthless when millions of dollars are at stake. And some men can be even more ruthless when their families are threatened.
Friends, and Other Perishables is an excellent variant on the private-eye genre, featuring a man who is both a dedicated detective and a loving family man capable of defending those he loves when there is no other choice.
