In 1972, while Hollywood legend Marlon Brando is in France filming Last Tango in Paris, his teenage son goes missing, presumed kidnapped. To find the boy, Brando turns to America’s most recognisable and flamboyant Private Eye — Jay J. Armes. This incredible investigator, famous for the fact that he has hooks for hands, has hunted down murderers, kidnappers, robbers, and cheats, and worked for millionaires, celebrities, and dignitaries all over the world. By the time he’s finished with this case, Jay J. Armes will have his name in headlines across the globe, he’ll have almost died in a helicopter near-miss, and he will have helped the Hollywood legend end a ten-year custody battle. And it’s all in a day’s work for this legendary detective.
