Bernardo Walterhaus is a detective on a mission: find a missing heiress that no one can seem to locate. Armed with cunning wit, luck, and an unerring ability to find trouble, Bernardo will solve the case with the help of his bodyguard/driver and a pack of the most vulgar and violent cops you could have on your side. Bernardo will find an unlikely solution, without a clue or a good idea, as long as the mercenaries, gnomes, orderlies, exploding castles, fake Germans, angry competitors, plane crashes, burning office buildings, board meetings, boiling chocolate, fratboys, and criminal masterminds don't get him first. A surreal comedy caper from Ryan Speck.
Ryan Speck hails from Atlanta, which he is very sorry for. He moved to Seattle in 2005 and has since enjoyed a pollen-lite diet of temperate Northwestern living.
When not entirely shirking his writing duties and beating his head against the proverbial wall trying to come up with things funny enough to make himself laugh every other line, he is more often found on his computer, playing games, or watching TV. Now in his mid-30's, Ryan has added the hobbies of "getting fat" and "regretting his misspent youth" to the already long list of things that he wastes all his free time with.
He lives with three cats and a human female, all of whom he cleans up after.
Whenever he actually does something worthwhile, you can hear about it at ryanspeck.com.
