Once a police detective in St. Paul, Minnesota, Rushmore McKenzie has become an unlikely millionaire and an occasional unlicensed private investigator, doing favors for friends. The favor, this time, is for a friend of a friend-Erin Peterson, a local business person and owner of a growing food company called Salsa Girl. Someone seems to have a beef with her: the outside locks on her factory having been systematically filled with superglue. But for some reason, Erin doesn't want to report this harassment to the police. As a favor to his poker buddy and hockey teammate Ian, McKenzie agrees to stop by and chat with Erin.
At first Erin denies there's anything going on and then, when the harassment escalates and threatens her business, she also asks for McKenzie's help. The further McKenzie digs into the situation, the more complicated-and deadly-it becomes. And somewhere, in the middle of it all, is Erin, playing all sides against the middle, leading McKenzie to wonder if you ever really know who your friends are.

"Although this series has been described as noir, and Mac certainly gets beat up and shot periodically, there's a wry vibe in these novels that offers humor along with a firecracker plot...

St. Paul Pioneer Press
"There's so much fun to be had in a David Housewright novel... Few think 'Minnesota' when they hear the phrase 'neo-noir, ' yet by the last chapter with McKenzie, you're a believer...
Like To Die
is satisfyingly twisty, meaty, and action-packed. Housewright takes just enough time to set his scenes-amps up the tension to just the right level-before bringing down the hammer. And, by the final page, all of the threads have been unknotted and tied into a gratifying bow." -
Criminal Element

Like To Die
... As is his signature, Housewright strikes a tone that is light on crime and grit but loaded with lighthearted exploits and peppered with local references to keep us connected. A pleasure to read." -
