Crown Vic 2If I Were A Rich Man
“Diamond hard noir. No holds barred, no punches pulled. There's a whole lot of fun to be had. Sharp, to-the-point, and briskly-written. More Ray Boyd please, Mr. Goldberg." CrimeTime FM
Ray Boyd is an ex-con traveling the open road in a used Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, going wherever his need for money and sex lead him, thinking only of himself and nobody else.
In "If I Were a Rich Man," Goldberg's brutal, sexually explicit, and darkly funny new novella, Ray is on the trail of lost diamonds from a legendary jewelry heist...and stumbles into a twisted honey trap.
Praise for the Ray Boyd stories:
"Crown Vic 2 is a quick tale that packs a lot of punch. It's a wonderful throwback tough guy Men's Adventure series but thoroughly modern at the same time." Bloody, Spicy, Books
“Boyd plays all the notes just right. The trip is a blast.” Dark City Underground
“Goldberg brings on the funny while being wildly observant.” Los Angeles Times
"Ray, even with all his failings, is a Lee Goldberg character: observant, witty, at times downright funny – for the reader at least – and a heck of a good escape for all of us drab work-a-day slobs." Gravetapping
"A fun departure for Goldberg and a throwback to the thrilling and erotic men’s adventure novels of the 1970s." Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
"And here I thought that Lee Goldberg was such a nice boy…but in Crown Vic, he unleashes the beast with stories that just reek of 1950s pulp paperbacks." The Thrilling Detective
