In the year 1988, black private detective Ellis Mason finds himself swept into a wave of big time trouble. What started as a routine case of tailing an ex-con's wayward girl friend turns into

something much more sinister.

When the girl friend is murdered, and the ex-con is charged, Ellis reluctantly  sets out to clear

him. Ellis soon finds himself investigating a young and sexy executive secretary that's having an

affair with a married congressman running for re-election, and is living far beyond her means.

He creates an uneasy alliance with Brad Royce, the son of the owner of a top flight detective

agency.

Ellis targets Andrea Newsome, a clever and alluring political consultant that knows a lot more

about shady business deals and political corruption than she'll ever admit. Ellis and Royce must

sniff out the right clues, and dodge the last bullets before the case is solved.

88 Ways to Die is a complex case, steamy sexuality, and sudden violence that brings things to a

boil.
