Franklin Ernest "Trigger Happy" Merriman is the most powerful man in the world of law enforcement in this hilarious, zany and highly offbeat new novel by Mark T. "The Comedy Answer Man" Watson, author of the critically acclaimed Shadow Busters novel The Aspiration of Detective Broderick Throckmorton. Detective Merriman - a man with the ability to combat the tyranny of justice in various investigations - is capable of cracking the case, playing pranks with his suspects and uncovers the truth.
In each chapter, Frank Merriman, P.I. unravels the mysteries and searches for the clues to the men, women and children - having cracked the case - and how he brings his dumb goons, racketeers, pickpockets, man hunting fugitives, crooks, compulsive gamblers, auctioneers, highway patrolmen, sheriffs, elementary school children, shoplifters and all other persons committing crime to justice in ever new investigations.
Watson - better known as "Mr. Camouflage" - continues his tradition of writing hilariously funny private investigator mystery satire to millions of readers globally with his own brand of procedural humor, bringing new generations of detective mystery thriller fans with an offbeat approach to print-based fiction.
Together with his Merriman Investigations collaborators Simon "Pistol" McCullough, Ray "Ray Gun Man" Duke, Willard "Crossfire" Drake, Howard Willard "Revolver Bill" Justice, Macdonald Sean "Matt" Justice, Raymond
D. "Laser Beam" Bean and Dave Merriman, Frank tackles the toughest cases involving all victims committing crime across America.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, conservative humorist, novelist and comedian Mark T. Watson is the author of The Aspiration of Detective Broderick Throckmorton, the first novel in the Shadow Busters series. He also wrote and illustrated an upcoming children's book titled Capt. Men, which will be published in 2020 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
He is working on an upcoming novel titled Flash Danforth.
She is lonely, scared, and broken-a girl who has known nothing but pain.
He is power, darkness, and sin-the Russian devil who has set his sights on her.
He doesn't want her love. He wants to own her. To break her. To corrupt her.
She's too naive, too untouched, too fragile. But that only makes him want to ruin her more.
Her POV:
My life has never been fair, but maybe that's just my curse. Like a moth drawn to the flame, I find myself pulled toward danger, knowing it will destroy me. And him... he makes me feel things I shouldn't. Things that terrify me. Things I crave.
His POV:
"P-please..." she begs, her voice trembling.
I smirk. "You like this, don't you? The way my fingers own you... greedy little thing, I bet you wish it was my cock instead."
She moans my name like it's a prayer, but I am no saint. I won't take her to heaven. I'll drag her to hell-my hell. She will be my whore. My kitten. Mine.
He is her destruction, but she is his lifeline. And he will never let her go.
