Summary
Dick Moonlight can't help himself. Moonlight, the private detective known as the head case with a bullet lodged in his brain, should be grateful for his current job. But when it becomes clear the cash-starved brain surgeon he's been hired to drive around is protecting his son from a rape conviction, Moonlight is disgusted.
Worse, when the charges turn into a case of "reckless murder", Moonlight's the only one trying to keep the kid from the electric chair though the girl - a state senator's daughter - clearly committed suicide. Then Moonlight and his unwilling assistant, a fat Elvis impersonator owing him money, stumble into a much bigger plot and are soon dodging Hollywood obsessed drug-running Russian thugs, corrupt government officials, and the specter of Moonlight's recently diseased girlfriend.
New York Times best-selling author Vincent Zandri delivers another fast-paced, grizzly thriller in the Dick Moonlight series, offering listeners plenty of wry humor, bullets, car chases, and Scarface references.

Entertaining and fun
Moonlight Weeps was another one enjoyed back in December via Audible and was my second Vincent Zandri outing. It's the eighth book in a ten book series and while I liked it, I don't feel compelled to go and hoover up the other nine. I think I have the first in some format or other anyway - so the other eight then.
Dick Moonlight - helluva name - is a PI with a damaged brain. He's never gotten over the loss of his dead girlfriend and that's about all I can really recall about him. Oh, he was an ex-cop and a lot of his former colleagues wouldn't wee on him if he was on fire. He blew the whistle on some police corruption a few years back. A bit of a straight arrow guy then.
Here he enlists a fat Elvis impersonator to assist in an investigation into a girl's suicide which the cops are trying to pin on his doctor client's son as rape, with culpability in her subsequent death.
A dirty Doctor, his crazed off-spring, mad Russian mobsters, dodgy politicians and plenty of drugs - for sale and for consumption.
I liked it. I enjoyed the narration by Andrew B. Wehrlen, who brings the character fully to life. There's plenty of action, humorous dialogue and banter - particularly between Dick and fat Elvis. There's fisticuffs, gun fights, a car chase and the odd sex scene.
Dick gets distracted as he keeps seeing his dead girlfriend wandering the streets. After getting sacked off the case and re-hired a few times, he eventually ends up in opposition to his former employer, trying to take down a drug ring.
Good fun, never boring, never wanted to be in another book when I was listening to this one. Did exactly what it said on the tin.
4 from 5
Zandri's Tunnel Rats has been enjoyed previously. There's more from him on the pile.

Brain surgery is a risky business.
Moonlight is a Private Eye with a bullet lodged in his head. His most recent client is a brain surgeon. A pairing made in heaven? Well.
, not exactly ...
Once again Mr.Zandri has written an unusual, fast paced and humerous well written work, replete with snappy one liners. Reading this fun action story is the excellent Andrew Wehrien, whose narration perfectly fits with the character and his sardonic attitude, whilst the voicings of everyone else is distinct and individualistic.
My thanks to the rights holder for gifting me a complementary copy of Moonlight Weeps, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Great performance, fun book. Recommended.

Moonlight and Elvis
P.I. Dick Moonlight has a bullet lodged in his head, but that doesn’t stop him. He is hired by a brain surgeon to drive his son around in his car, protecting him from a rape conviction. The case against the boy turns to reckless murder as the girl, the daughter of a state senator, committed suicide because the boy had put nude photos of her on Face Book. Moonlight together with his assistant, an Elvis impersonator (who is only helping to pay off money he owes Moonlight) find out there is much more going on when they find out the doctor is into drug smuggling with two Russian thugs. During the investigation Moonlight thinks he has spotted his dead girlfriend Lola going into a café and has become obsessed with finding out if she really died in the car crash years ago. Good light hearted thriller, which I listened to in one sitting.
