Asphalt Moon (Deets Shanahan) by Ronald Tierney

Deets Shanahan is a PI who’s a bit older than the usual ones. That’s probably why there’s his younger partner Howie Cross, who however is involved in his own case during most of the novel. Cross finds the daughter of an old flame on his doorstep. When he sets out to find her he gets involved in a national criminal scheme. Meanwhile Deets is almost shot in his own house by an unknown person. When they try to kill him again, and nearly succeed, he and Cross investigate and discover the reasons to kill him are personal, not professional.
The plot is not very shocking or original nor is the suspense nail-biting or the action pulse-pounding. The writing is nice and direct and at 213 pages a fast read. That makes it an enjoyable read during your train, bus or metro commute but probably not one you’ll remember for years to come. Good entertainment.
