California Scheming

At long last (says the author) the second entry in the acclaimed Todd Gleason makes its debut, as Todd, the witty, sexy con man of London Frog returns for another wild caper, where the hunt for a lost treasure uncovers a boatload of secrets, suspicions, skeletons…and suspects.

“Pittman writes with a sassy swagger.”  — Chris Grabenstein, award-winning author of the John Ceepak series

“Lots of fun in the Westlake spirit.” – JoAnna Carl, author of the “Chocolate Cat” mysteries

Noted bank robber “Fast Cash” Cashman disappeared seven years ago, along with three million dollars in cold, hard cash.  Seven years later, his dizzy widow, Lottie, has declared him legally dead…and that’s when the bodies start surfacing.  Enter Todd Gleason, enlisted to help two old friends out of a deadly jam.  Cindy Scanlon needs Todd to locate her errant husband, Patrick, who has run afoul of a notorious loan shark.  Only Fast Cash’s lost stash will save his life—and someone has conveniently…mysteriously sent Patrick a map of the money’s location.  Turns out, he’s not the only one with a scheme up his sleeve.

In California Scheming, Todd Gleason’s got a list of suspects as long as the California coast, but he’s got just one question:  Who’s guilty, and who’s even guiltier?  Jetting between New York and Los Angeles, with some steamy sojourns on the lush island of Bermuda, it’s up to Todd Gleason to out-scheme them all.  Like always.
