OLD FRIENDS ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS. OLD FRIENDS ARE YOUR ONLY FRIENDS. Paul, an ex-actor and part-time dog walker, owes his best friend Bob Shapiro a favor. In fact, he owes Bob Shapiro his life. So when Bob, a private art dealer, asks Paul to help him track down a priceless statue for a dangerous billionaire, Paul is only too happy to oblige. But when people connected to the sculpture start dying, Paul must figure out who is behind the murders before he becomes the next victim. If only Paul wasn't so inept at detecting, so inept at heisting, so inept at eating. (Just trust the fork to get to your mouth, Paul!) But, at least, Paul is a loyal friend. And Bob is worthy of such loyalty. Right? Right? Right? Witty, suspenseful, and packed with unforgettable characters, Bob Shapiro, Helluva Guy is not only a hilarious crime story; it's also an exploration of friendship and faith.
