Beauty is Imperfection

My novel Zip Monkey is now available as an Amazon e-book and should be available in paperback version in the next few months.

The plot:

Angel Bimini is a former pornographic actress who has reinvented herself as a private detective. She’s hired by a buffoonish client who insists he’s being stalked by a girlfriend. It so happens, this Ralph works at the local medical research university in Secaucus, New Jersey. Not only has the university attracted unwanted attention for its animal testing … but it has a serious cash flow problem. Angel hopes this job will be an easy $1,000. The next thing she knows, somebody is shooting up her office. Even stranger is that a witness swears the job was carried out by an adult male chimpanzee.

Zip Monkey‘s other characters include Christina Brostrom, a failed ballet dancer who has realized that medical research and grant fraud might have been her true calling, and Leila Barents, a primatologist who feels a little bit too possessive about her animals and a little too misanthropic toward the world of humans.

The cover was designed by Corey Brian Sanders.
