A Missing Chimp. A Dead Man on Carousel 6B. A City in Decline.

San Francisco's seen better days—but so has Johnny Rossi. His rent's overdue, his fedora's seen too many storms, and his best friend is a tea-brewing Chinatown sage who quotes Confucius when things get weird (which is often). Rossi is accustomed to odd cases, but when a leggy blonde named Sally Bird hires him to find her missing chimpanzee, Lulu, things spiral out of control faster than a fogbound cable car.

What starts as a search for a sequin-wearing primate turns into something much darker—a corpse at the airport, whispers of a shadowy organization called Resonance, and a trail of secrets buried beneath the city's broken streets. Now, with Lulu cracking codes, dodging bullets, and generally outwitting everyone in her path, Rossi and his trusted partner Ying Yip must race against time to stop a conspiracy that could shake the world—and give San Francisco's oldest detective one last shot at redemption.

Fast-paced, wisecracking, and filled with heart, Johnny Rossi: The Case of the Chimp Wore Sequins is a noir-style mystery with a modern twist and a chimp with more charm than most people.

Sometimes the biggest, loveable trouble wears sequins.
