The Winkler Case - Book 1 of the Elliot Blake Novels
Set in Chicago in 1948, The Winkler Case is a gay reimagining of the classic film noir Double Indemnity.
When insurance salesman Elliot Blake knocks on the front door of fight promoter Walt Winkler's home, he's greeted by Vito--a handsome boxer whose seductive gaze suggests he wants something far more personal from Elliot than car insurance. What begins as a routine sales call soon spirals into a web of forbidden attraction and hidden motives. When Walt Winkler is found dead, Elliot's no nonsense coworker claims investigator Martin Zimmerman delves into a death claim where nothing is as it seems--and no one can be trusted. But this is not a simple remake. The final twist will surprise you. "Colorfully narrated, with spot-on period touches and subtle humor, this intriguing reimagining of Double Indemnity captivates with interesting characters." —Kindle Nation Daily Preview Chapter 1 (10:16) of The Winkler Case audiobook:
