Alien Quartet

These four Albert Samson short stories are linked by one unusual client. The first story Who I Am begins when LeBron James climbs Albert's stairs. He wants Samson to investigate a burglary at his Indianapolis home. This is not an everyday event for this PI: having a new client. Who I Am won the Shamus Award for best PI Story of 2011. In Good Intentions a genuinely well-meaning man has been beaten so badly he needs hospital treatment. But he insists that he doesn't want police to become involved. Extra Fries opens when a man has been caught cheating by his wife. Unusually it's the cheater who is the detective's client not the wife. Extra Fries was nominated for the Shamus of 2013. A Question of Fathers sees Albert search for a man due to inherit millions of dollars. The investigation helps him find a new level of understanding with his daughter his mother and himself. But what about his father?
