Broke and not getting any younger, Max Bowman has officially hit bottom. Dogged by trolls and an angry ex, he flees to California, where he ends up running a detective agency with a dead man's name on it.

That's when a new client who's not quite right in the head shows up—because he thinks the government is breaking into his apartment to move food around in his refrigerator. It's also when zombie assassins start showing up wherever Max goes, killing everyone on site except him.

But wait, there's more! From a mysterious start-up in Silicon Valley to a deadly chase on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Max is once again in search of the source of all the weirdness—and the trail shockingly takes him directly to the White House, where the president has big, beautiful plans for Max.

Which is why many people are saying this is the best Max adventure yet—and that's not fake news.

This was a wild ride in the best way. Max is broke, irritated, surrounded by chaos, and somehow keeps getting pulled deeper into the strangest mess possible. I liked the mix of detective trouble, political satire, zombie assassins, and ridiculous danger because it kept the story moving and never felt dull. It has a sharp, offbeat sense of humor that made the whole thing fun to listen to. I read this with a free promo code.

Funny and weird and awesome
