I don't know if there is such a thing as a fun detective book but if there is then Private Detective Nils Shapiro has to be near the top of the list. He is summoned by an overprotective grandmother and sent from his home in Minnesota to the wilds of Hollywood to make sure the grandson is not wasting his inheritance making movies. It turns out that is exactly what he is doing but the money will not be wasted as he is cutting out the middleman and letting the creative side dig in. Ebben may be doing a noble thing but he has made somebody mad because he and everyone around him seems to be in danger. Nils along with his support staff from Minnesota just want to get the job done and get back home. Nils is a great character- a midwest version of Jack Reacher who is at home in the midwest but Hollywood might as well be Mars. He is just an all around good guy caught up in a bad guy business. 4 stars
