Publisher's Summary

Artemus Black doesn't believe in fate...but even a hardened Hollywood PI can question destiny when cases turn ugly. 

With an assistant who mocks him relentlessly, an obese cat that loathes him, a romantic life that's deader than Elvis, money problems, booze, nicotine, and anger management issues, how much worse can it get? 

The answer is plenty, and Black finds himself in a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder - and bad hair days. 

If you love Chandler and Hammett, Black's irreverent nod to the noir classics is sure to draw smiles and keep you listening late into the night. 

Get it now! 

A four-novel bundle of the critically acclaimed Black series from a New York Times best-selling author.

Great listen

I really enjoyed the story and characters, lots of light hearted banter, and R C Bray is one of my favourite narrators so I couldn't go wrong.

Great listen

I was not sure about this series at first but the more I listened to it the more people on the train heard me laughing and the banter between the characters. RC Bray does a fantastic job bring them to life. Worth every cent.

Great books

I loved these books. Sensational narration as always. Books are a good balance of light detective story, drama and break out humour in the right places. I would listen to more if they were available

Another great Bray performance!

Loved the characters.Brilliant quick witted banter - always a plus! The premise was good in each book, with just a hint of repetition here and there, and a couple of obvious plot weaknesses but not enough to weaken the overall result. All in all well written. And I hope to see Black Back again!

Great Fun and Great Value

A thoroughly enjoyable listen with engaging characters and excellent narration. Now I have finished all 4 books, I am going to miss them all. That is the sign of a good series for me.
