Joe Beck
3 primary works
Book 1
Alastair Brown's debut novel, introducing Joe Beck - America's Unlicensed Private Detective.
Ex-cop Joe Beck is a private eye, but not the typical type. He's unlicensed. His office is his cell phone. And his methods are outwith the law. Not one to shy away from a fist fight, he doesn't often take liberties and he never takes prisoners.
He's in McAllen, Texas, for the funeral of an old friend who, he heard, took his own life. He bumps into a beautiful escort named Sapphire and makes plans to spend the night with her...that is, before they're abducted at gun point and bundled into the back of a black SUV by three men they've never seen before. Three men who know a whole lot more about Joe Beck's dead friend than they ought to.
What do they know? What will happen? And how will Joe Beck react?

Book 2
Passing through Trinidad, Colorado, on route to Albuquerque, New Mexico, ex-cop turned unlicensed outlaw private eye Joe Beck stops off at a local bar, where he meets Brandi Burrows, a brunette bombshell who works there.
Slim, tanned and attractive, she has it all. The looks, the assets and the confidence. Except, something is wrong. She has a horribly black eye, which she admits was caused by the hand of an abusive ex-boyfriend.
Beck offers to deal with him, no questions asked. Brandi accepts. But things don't go as planned and he's quickly sucked into a side gig that involves stopping a local biker gang from distributing drugs around the state.
