Mark Mynheir spends most of his time as a crime scene detective–in real life! He has written The Corruptible which stars a wounded ex-detective/private investigator named Ray Quinn who is summoned to do what appears to be a dream detective assignment by a person who doesn’t care what it costs to get his information back. As always, there’s a twist! The person he’s supposed to extract the information from winds up dead in a sleazy hotel room with several stab wounds that were inflicted post-mortem.
