He went looking for a way out.
Rome handed him a way down.

Dick Moonlight has had enough.

Enough of Albany.
Enough of bad memories.
Enough of the woman he loved and lost.

So when a job opens up in Rome, Italy, working as a house detective at a five-star hotel, Moonlight packs his bags and hopes distance will do what whiskey never could—quiet the noise in his head.

It doesn't.

Instead, an Italian beauty with trouble in her eyes pulls Moonlight into a mess that starts with sex and ends with blood. Before he knows it, he's tangled in a drug-smuggling operation that runs straight through airport security, crooked TSA agents, and the kind of men who don't bother with threats because they don't need them.

Now Moonlight is stuck in a foreign city where the rules are different, the criminals are organized, and one wrong move could leave him face-down in an alley with no one to remember his name.

Moonlight Breaks Bad is pure noir—lonely, violent, and soaked in regret. A hard-boiled detective story about bad choices, worse luck, and the dangerous lie that a change of scenery can save you.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Vincent Zandri, this is Dick Moonlight at his most broken—and his most dangerous.

"Tough, stylish, heartbreaking."
— Don Winslow, bestselling author of Savages
