About
In many murder mysteries, the call girl gets killed. This novella turns that tired troupe on its head. A skilled and versatile sex worker learns that one of her clients, a prominent businessman, was brutally murdered just hours after their last date. With her unique access to the upper echelon of Washington D.C. society, she embarks on an investigation that leads to a shocking discovery. Glendall C. Jackson III, an award-winning non-fiction writer, creates a vivid portrait of high-end sex work.
Praise for this book
Thrilling, well-paced, and surprisingly dark, Naked Came the Detective is Glendall C. Jackson III’s beautifully written debut novel with a noir soul….The universe of escorting is shown with all its contradictions – the intimacy, secrecy, danger, allure, emotion, and transactional nature – without glamorizing it, or condemning it.
Scandal, murder, and duplicity create a thrilling tension in this suspenseful, character-driven novella, Jackson’s debut. Jackson’s research into the reality of sex work gives the story persuasive power, the mystery plotting is suitably twisty, and the protagonist is funny, focused, and quick on her feet.
This reviewer couldn’t stop reading; seriously didn’t move one inch until the very last page. Fantastic! Naked Came the Detective is one of the best stories I’ve read this year.
