**Series: Michael Shayne** **Author:** [Author Name] Step into the gritty world of 1940s Miami, where shadows stretch long and danger lurks around every corner. In the heart of this vibrant city, Michael Shayne, a hard-boiled private detective with a heart of gold, navigates a labyrinth of crime, betrayal, and deceit. Driven by his relentless pursuit of justice—and the occasional fleecy charm of a femme fatale—Shayne will stop at nothing to clear his name when fate takes a dark turn. In *The Corpse Came Calling*, Shayne finds himself entangled in a deadly game when an old friend’s unexpected visit turns fatal. Accused of homicide, he must untangle a web of lies and dark secrets that threaten to ensnare him. With the police closing in and a killer lurking in the shadows, he must rely on his sharp wit and street-smart instincts to uncover the truth and reclaim his life before he becomes the next target. Flawed yet fiercely loyal, Shayne embodies the struggles of a man caught between the law and his own moral compass, exploring themes of friendship, betrayal, and the quest for redemption. As his determination intensifies, readers are drawn into a high-stakes showdown that leaves them breathless and yearning for the next twist in Shayne’s relentless pursuit of the truth. Will he emerge unscathed, or will the truth he's seeking turn out to be more dangerous than he ever imagined? Prepare for an exhilarating journey where the line between right and wrong blurs, and everyone has something to hide.
