A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Who wants to kill Austin Carr? Everybody. He’s a stockbroker. About to be ingeniously murdered -- snatched off a private fishing yacht by a live, six-hundred-pound giant bluefin -- a down-on-his-luck stockbroker recalls the events and bad choices that precipitated his gruesome end. His killer – Mr. Blabbermouth -- might be any of a dozen suspects, including a steroid-crazed wrestler angry over Austin's poor investment recommendations, a jealous sales manager often the target of Austin’s jokes, and a widow with long red hair, sexy curves, and plenty of secrets. Or could there be another suspect Austin overlooked entirely until he stepped on board that yacht? This is the first book of the Austin Carr mystery series penned by Jack Getze. “Darkly comic, with an engaging protagonist.” -- T.J. MacGregor, Edgar Winner, Author of The Tango Key Mysteries “Big Numbers is a gritty, sexy, violent, and funny book.” -- Liz Clifford at Reviewed by Liz “Wonderful characters...well-written, entertaining...a good read.” --Connie Anderson for Armchair Interviews “Indiana Jones has his whip and Luke Skywalker has his light saber, but for Austin Carr, his full-boat grin is the weapon of choice.” --Melissa for Lou Reads “Jack Getze started his career as a newspaper reporter. As a result, BIG NUMBERS is lean and mean, with not a word wasted. A truly fun, genuinely funny read.” --Lisa Guidarini for Bluestalking Reader

Présentation de l'éditeur

Who is killing Austin Carr? About to be murdered-snatched off a private fishing yacht by a six-hundred-pound giant bluefin tuna-a down-on-his-luck stockbroker recalls the collection of events, miscalculations, and character flaws that led to his current dire predicament: Living in a truck-mounted camper on the Jersey Shore, struggling to keep up with alimony and child-support payments that no longer reflect his shrinking income, the big-smiling, wise-cracking Austin Carr has been searching for a way out of the stock and bond business. So when his richest client tells Austin he's dying, and the future widow-a redheaded knock-out-offers tender consolation, Austin's increasingly desperate financial situation draws him deeper and deeper into a barbed web of bad behavior and deceit. Austin's would-be killer, whom he dubs Mr. Blabbermouth, could be any one of several suspects, as Austin's words and deeds have attracted the wrath of many in recent weeks. The potential murderers include a wacked-out professional wrestler angry over Austin's poor investment recommendations, a jealous sales manager who Austin regularly belittles, and even Austin's greedy employer whose personality traits include a nasty, violent temper. Or could there be another suspect Austin overlooked entirely until he stepped on board that private yacht?
