Big Money by Jack Getze
I enjoyed “Big Money” immensely. It brought to mind film noir, Humphrey Bogart – and basically good guys that get caught up in the consequences of their bad choices.
~Back Porchervations
I’m really glad I ventured out of my comfort zone for Big Money. It was a hoot and a half!
~A Chick Who Reads
A little humor, a lot of action, and a quick read. I’m looking forward to BIG MOJO!
~Christa Reads and Writes
Jack Getze tells a hell of a story.
~ Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
There is more mystery and thrills going on than first meets the eye. It seems like a simple little story, but keeps spreading out, drawing in characters you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley, or anywhere for that matter. So, don’t blink. You may not see it coming.
~fundinmental
Big Money is a fun bumbling read that you can enjoy and smile at all the messes Austin gets into.
~readalot

Humor and lots of action make this a fun read.

This is not your run-of-the-mill mystery. Big Money is packed with thrills and humor.

Synopsis:
In this jaunty follow-up to Big Numbers, a scruffy stockbroker returns to tangle with mobsters, women and his own big mouth. The good news, as the story opens, is that the hero is in the company of a gorgeous naked lady. The bad news is that she’s pointing a shotgun at him. It’s a typical predicament for Austin Carr, a semi-shady New Jersey financial professional temporarily in charge of Shore Securities…He’s being extorted into opening a money-laundering account for local crime boss Bluefish; an auditor who was investigating his company has turned up murdered; a fetching state police captain figures he’s the key to her organized-crime probe; and his boss’s mother has been picked up for fixing her church bingo game.
Carr is continually getting into trouble over his weakness for breasts, his penchant for self-incriminating statements and his vestigial moral sensibility, which, like an appendix, makes itself felt at inconvenient times. — Kirkus Indie

Austin reminds me of Charlie Brown. You keep hoping things will workout for him. But you know that Lucy will jerk the ball out from under again.
