Tom Treadwell has just celebrated the big five O and for this cross dressing, big haired, spiked heeled, push-up bra former has been. It's been more years than he cares to remember that he's either had the lay of the century, or a steady paying job. And at this juncture, he ain't even sure which he misses most. For this former LAPD homicide cop who'd gotten mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore, he now works out of a two bit hole in the wall in West Hollywood. Along with a seventy something little blue haired lady, with a preference for black belt karate and semi reabilitated ex-cons and a mind reading parrot with a knack for solving crimes that out surpasses his own.Add to that a statuesque blond with an hour-glass figure and ta,ta's to die for, an ex-husband that turns up dead, a wannabe actress with a voice that can melt ice on a winters day,a pornographic film producer and an assortment of likeable and not so likeable characters . . . .

Not since the "Fletch" series in the 1970s has there been such an irreverent send-up of the detective genre. Blaise Hanagan's "Bologna Caper" is to "The Maltese Falcon" as the movie "Airplane" is to "Airport". Sorry, this analogy limps, and how many people remember "Airport" anyway, but it's the best I can do. I mean, a cross-dressing detective with a mind-reading parrot named Mabel as a side-kick? What could be better than that? And the parrot is smarter than our hero...... who is Thomas Treadwell, P.I., formerly a detective with LAPD. As told in the verbigerative vernacular of the protagonist (a smart choice, use of first-person narration, because it allows the author some otherwise dodgy misuse of grammar, syntax and animal husbandry clichés), the story unfolds around the problems of a steatopygous stereotypical dumb blonde's whose missing husband puts her at the top of LAPD's suspect list. Only she's not so dumb, as it turns out, and the excess tissue actually is a bit further north. Or upgradient, as the more tech-inclined Mabel might observe. Mabel, by the way, has a nose (or beak, I guess) that is easily the equal of all the gas chromatographs in LAPD's forensic labs. The supporting cast is no less wonderful, starting with Shirley, Treadwell's 70-something secretary with a black belt in karate and a penchant for redeeming the souls of hardened ex-cons.
So... for non-stop unrelenting totally depraved silliness, buy this book, turn those pages. It really is the literary equivalent of "Airplane".
