Lester Caine, a retired NYC detective, is contentedly living as a private investigator in West Palm Beach, Florida when an intriguing case lands on his doorstep. The shocking murder of Judge Desmond Vanderbilt puts Lester at the call of the police who desperately need his help to solve this high-profile case. On the bright side, Lester is just the right man for the job. He's well-connected and has endless resources at his fingertips. The bad news is that he doesn't always color inside the lines when working on a case. Lester encounters many obstacles, dangers, seductive distractions, and other unforeseen surprises. But it's his job to find the perpetrator of this unspeakable crime and exonerate the judge's widow. Time is against him! But follow his story in Fred Berri's Lester Caine Private Eye: Murder on Palm Beach.

Murder on Palm Beach is fast-paced and has just the right amount of action in all the right places. Murder mystery fans are in luck if they're looking for a story that will seize their attention from beginning to end. This novel will keep your mind racing as you eagerly flip through the pages and absorb the thrilling plot, one word at a time. Lester is in a class of his own. He's not afraid to confront danger in all his glory. He's a risk-taker, but he's also tough, highly skilled, and intelligent, which is a potent combination in the hands of this no-nonsense private investigator. The secondary characters bring much-needed pizzazz to the novel, but Lester's bravado makes this read a masterpiece. There are some exquisite curveballs added to entice readers as well. Fans of murder mysteries will love it for sure.

I agree with this 5 star review. Berri's new Private Eye series had me turning pages not wanting to put this down. It's an exciting noir gumshoe well written novel. Can't wait for the next one.
