" Frequent Flyer" by Kinky Friedman is a mystery with humorous overtones. Kinky stars himself as an amateur detective in New York who smokes a cigar, loves cats and drinks espresso. Kinky gets a phone call to attend the funeral of an old buddy from the peace corp only to notice the dead man was not his friend. In NY, his sidekicks Ratso and Rambam help him uncover the mystery of his friend disappearing and get mixed up with a Nazi regime. It appears that the friend knew something that the Nazis did not want known. Kinky holds his own as a detective but ends up disclosing a lot about his past. The mystery gets solved, some what, and the off the wall statements throughout the story keep one interested to the end.
Kinky was a country western performer and a possible future governor of Texas, but took to writing novels instead. His one-liners and the humor give this author credence as a good writer.
