Carl Jacobs Mysteries
(Mystery)
softcover

Friends, And Other Perishables - Order Page: "...a thrill-packed novel grabs you in the first paragraph and never lets you go. An outstanding Debut" - William Bernhardt, author of the best-selling Ben Kincaid series

Carl Jacobs, a private investigator, agrees to meet an informant, Jimmy "The Blue Jay" a man Carl grew up with. Jimmy has been a guest in Carl's house, and is considered almost a member of the family by Carl's 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 Carl's 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.

Friends On Fire: "Whisman spins a good story and has created a likeable, credible hero and a supporting cast with good depth and a promise of staying power that bodes well for future appearances." - Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine

A Witch Among Friends: "Dale Whisman has done it again - a crisp whodunit composed with wry wit and a strong sense of detail, filled with vibrant believable characters in an unusual and exciting plot. He is my pick for mystery writer of the year" - Charles W. Sasser, author of Homicide and Detachment Delta series

Though now retired, Dale Whisman, was a private investigator for eleven years in the Tulsa Oklahoma area.
