Sam Nash Books

Sam Nash, P.I. , Hard Boiled Mysteries reminiscent of the Pulp Fiction era of fifty years ago when tough, street smart, Private Eyes survived on cigarettes, booze, and stakeouts. A time when the good guys weren’t always good and the bad guys were really bad, and each new case brought them two toe-to-toe in suspense and danger. Mike Pettit has taken that same genre and fast forwarded to current day Los Angeles and has his man, Sam Nash down on the street, fighting today’s gun mutts in the never ending battle against crime. Nash wins some, and loses some, but never gives up until the mutts are down and bleeding.The Skid Row Murders drops down into L.A.’s underbelly where young men are being stalked and murdered by a sick and twisted sexual predator. Mega rich movie stars are living in a wonderland of Hollywood dreams by day, and secret lives of decadence and destruction once the sun drops. Sam Nash walks the fine line of social respectability with Hollywood’s movers and shakers and is known as a street level tough guy that knows all the tricks, scams, and pressure points, and isn’t afraid to go the distance…if the money’s right.

Private Investigator, Sam Nash is in mortal danger and running for his life when he is set up as the fall guy for the murder of a Software Billionaire and his partner. Nothing makes sense as Sam shoots his way through dead-ends, traps, and cut-outs. As Nash eliminates one suspect at a time he becomes the hunter rather than the hunted. The action is up close and deadly, from Malibu to Hollywood to Santa Monica, from rich powerful men behind the scenes calling the shots to hired hit men doing the shooting. Nash is no stranger to danger or death and moves from suspect to suspect until he has the murderer in his sights. The climax is stunning in its intensity and finality.
