The Garbage Man

He cleans up Albany's filth—one dead body at a time. When part-time fraud investigator and full-time smart-mouth Steve Jobz gets fired after a disastrous HR meeting, the last thing he expects is a call from homicide. A severed head has turned up in an Albany dumpster—and the cops need Jobz's particular brand of troublemaking to dig up the truth. Dragged into a brutal case of decapitation, corruption, and revenge, Jobz finds himself wading through the city's sludge: crooked cops, femme fatales, political insiders, and a ruthless killer who thinks beheading is an art form. But the deeper Jobz digs, the more personal—and bloodier—the investigation becomes. Now the wise-cracking PI must battle his demons, dodge a vengeful garbage man with a taste for pain, and stop a psychotic killer before another body hits the landfill. Tough, darkly funny, and pulse-pounding, The Garbage Man delivers everything fans love about Vincent Zandri's award-winning thrillers: gritty atmosphere, razor-sharp dialogue, and a hero who keeps bleeding—but never quits. Perfect for readers of Michael Connelly, Don Winslow, Harlan Coben, and James Lee Burke who crave hard-boiled noir with a modern edge and unapologetic punch. Nab your copy now!
