Because of the subtitle (Butch Fatale: Dick Dyke) I'm guessing that Double-D Double Cross is the first book in a series. It's Christa Faust's hat tip to the Shell Scott adventures of Richard S. Prather, so that gives you an idea of what to expect. But only an idea, because the winking sex in the Prather novels is replaced with the real hardcore thing. In fact, this book opens with a bang (so to speak) in a truly in-your-face (so to speak) sex scene. When Butch is hired to find a missing woman, things, as you might expect, don't go exactly as planned. The result is fast, dirty, and funny, with a complicated mystery plot and an over-the-top climax (so to speak) that will leave you limp (so to speak). If you have an e-reader, and if you aren't easily offended, this one's a must-read.
