The Chinese Gunman

Meet Carter Kovac, disgraced art dealer turned reluctant, bumbling private detective. After inheriting his famous father's detective agency, he immediately becomes entangled in a mysterious web of intrigue and murder--and the police think he's the culprit. Or they'd at least like to pin it on him, as that'd save a lot of time. Along the way, he fumbles through mysterious deaths, misunderstandings, and wild goose chases, all while being pursued by the police, a fortune cookie company, a 15-year-old hit man, a phantom killer from the Chinese Assassination Corporation, and two disgruntled police detectives. He finds himself in a dangerous life-or-death game of cat-and-mouse, where the question becomes: Is he the cat or the mouse?
