The Rich are Different

Chris Orcutt's The Rich Are Different just hit Amazon.  This author is the real deal.  That became evident just a few pages in for readers of his first Dakota Stevens Mystery, the best selling A Real Piece of Work, which came out in November.  The wait for this one has seemed interminably long.  FINALLY, the wait is over.

Here's the book summary:

THE PI SENSATION Dakota Stevens is Back in this Highly Anticipated Sequel to A Real Piece of Work!

The Rich Are Different, the 2nd novel in the Dakota Stevens Mystery Series by Chris Orcutt, explores the rarefied world of a Long Island heiress and her murdered brother who owned an Old West resort in Montana. To hunt down the man’s killer, Dakota and his associate Svetlana Krüsh must go undercover as actors in a make-believe mining town straight out of 1885.

This much-anticipated sequel to A Real Piece of Work picks up a few months after that difficult case. Dakota Stevens is depressed. He’s lost his detecting mojo and hasn’t taken a case since A Real Piece of Work. Can he get his mojo back and find the killer?

Like bullets from a Gatling gun, the suspects come fast and furious: eccentric heiresses, greedy CEOs, catty thespians, sexy henchwomen, angry Native Americans, mysterious mobsters, menacing mercenaries, kinky housewives and contract killers.

It’s a classic case of East meets West as Dakota and Svetlana follow a trail of clues that takes the reader from the sophisticated setting of The Great Gatsby to the forbidding land of Pale Rider.
