Description
They Call Her Ed is a crime novel written by a team of real private investigators. A synopsis: Since he left the monastery, Johnny Loretto has had his heart broken about a hundred times ? by the same woman. And for years he has plodded forward, trying to make a living as a private investigator in Horsetooth, Colorado. When two promising clients come his way, he thinks his luck has changed.Rex King, president of Horsetooth University, hires Johnny to handle an extortion case. The blackmailer is threatening to send some incriminating photos to King?s wife and, worse yet, the board of regents. A few days later Professor Throgmorton, director of research at the veterinary school, seeks Johnny?s help in tracking down a missing sheep.The two cases collide, and Johnny uncovers an illegal cloning project involving several big players in town. When a cross-dressing sheep thief is murdered, Johnny becomes the prime suspect.With some help from his lifelong friend, Father Hank Redwine, Johnny embarks on a bruising tour de horse as he searches for evidence to expose the conspirators and prove his innocence. As he traverses the weird boulevards of Horsetooth, he must dodge his pursuers: Copeland, his freaky, stalking nemesis; Detective Shepherd, the cop convinced there is blood on Johnny?s hands; Luther, the vengeful leader of the Bros. of Bedlam biker gang; and, at the center of the storm, Jane Crowe, Johnny?s treacherous old flame.Along this strange journey Johnny finds himself in the struggle of his life, one that brings him to the edge of his existence as he fights for his very soul.
