The Laugher

"Stand-up comedian Denny Granger has gone missing the day before an important show at a Los Angeles comedy club, and ex-defense attorney-turned private eye Marshall Santone accepts the job to find him. Enlisting the help of Granger's beautiful manager, Nora, the case quickly turns deadly when Santone's employer is found dead in his own club - but not by his own hand. With a few scotches, some gunshots, and many trips down many rabbit holes, Santone finds himself at the center of a devious plot involving more than just murder, but the subversion of the American dream."-- Provided by publisher
