SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD is a classic Boston based
murder mystery that continues where DEAD MEN TALK
left off. It is the further adventures of Private Investigator
and ex-cop Jack Kelly. This time, Kelly is exposed to a more
depraved side of the cutthroat business of the cheap
detective. A story of greed and lust set against a backdrop
of blues, jazz music, and the incredibly rich and dirt poor
Boston neighborhoods. As is usual with Jack Kelly, the
bodies start to pile up. And as always, the salty and
sometimes philosophical dialogues pierce the mind and
heart. But this time, a young girl's life is held in a death
trap and her time is running out.
In this action-packed thriller, Kelly and his cast of
characters, Lieutenant Jessica Paris, Willie Crawford, The
Musicians, and the Soul Brothers utilize some classic
hard-nosed police work to uncover a sinister plot involving
multiple murders and a fortune of oceanic proportions. And
there are sharks in the water.
This bold modern day mystery is cutting edge, both fast and
irreverently funny. It reads like a fresh and brazen film
noir and will translate well to film.
