The complete collection of the Ransom, P.I. series!
This boxed set includes all three volumes. Follow Daniel Ransom, P.I., through all of his adventures with:
Volume One: Dead Eyes
Paris, 1945. Foreigner and struggling Private Investigator Daniel Ransom takes a missing persons case that seems like any other. Before long, however, things begin to look a bit more serious, a bit more…sinister.
Strange occult references turn up at the crime scene and Daniel begins to hear word of a new hallucinogenic drug hitting the streets. A drug that sells faster than opium and, more often than not, finds its users committed to the insane asylum.
Can Daniel crack the case and find the missing person before it’s too late?
Volume Two: Dark Corners
Daniel Ransom, failed novelist and current private investigator, has had a bad week. After the shocking death of Nicole Faure, the one-time love of his life, Daniel reluctantly continues his investigation into the disappearance of Nicole’s brother. He’s hoping for a quick and easy case, so that he can get out of France and never look back.
What he finds instead is a small town swept up in a terrifying new religion, an oddball cab driver, an obese war criminal, and a significant number of people who want him dead. Just another day at the office.
Volume Three: La Mort de Tous
Things just keep getting worse for private eye Daniel Ransom. After the death of his client and one-time lover led him to become embroiled in a terrifying new religious ceremony where pretty much everyone and everything wants him dead, he now has to try to stop a human sacrifice and get to the root of all of the evils that are befalling France in the wake of World War II. No simple task, indeed.
What his investigation turns up, however, may be too much for even the most hard-boiled detective to withstand.
Fans of John Locke, Russell Blake, and James Patterson will love this quirky detective thriller series with clever characters and suspenseful settings.
Praise for Ransom, P.I.
"I love a good crime drama but it's even better when there is a hint of something more. That's what I loved about this book and I want more from the author. I wasn't exactly sure what I'd get when I picked up Ransom P.I. but I was more than pleased with my choice...The dialogue was great and the noir mood of the book really creates a great atmosphere."

It was Paris in the Fall that made me love this city. It was the way the cool winds would send spiralling colours of vibrant oranges and reds across the cobblestone pavements, how the many gargoyle statues and pieces of public art looked at that time of year, staring down at you from their perches of lofty grandeur. I had first visited the City of Lights as a student in 1938. My father, back in the United States, had made his fortune in his youth when he inherited one of the largest publishing houses in the country at the time. And so I too wished to delve into the profession of literature. But, unlike my father, I wanted to write the books, not publish them, and Europe had seemed like the place to do that. Paris, when held in my youthful gaze, had been firmly planted on a proverbial pedestal in my mind as the booming centre of the world for art and literature. And so it was that, after some convincing, I managed to get my parents to pay my way to the city for a visit.
Even then, there were whisperings of war on the horizon, of worse days to come. People spoke of Hitler in one of two ways. Mostly it was to do with his brilliance and political leadership, and indeed, shortly after that he would be announced back home as Time's Man of the Year. But there were others, who could be found whispering in dark alleys, with concerned voices about the future of Germany, and indeed the future of all of Europe.
