The Excruciating Hello: Brute Ballingham, Private Detective Audiobook (Free)

Move more than Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade. There’s a fresh gumshoe called Brute Ballingham.

Together with secretary Moolada and nephew Pinky, this hard drinking private detective is definitely sucked into the seedy 1940s New York crime underworld.

The Excruciating Hello is a five hour wild and bizarre post-modern pastiche of such hardboiled crime noir fiction as The Long Goodbye, The Maltese Falcon, To Have got and Have Not, The Crimson Wind, The High Window, Trouble is My Business, The Lady in the Lake, Farewell, My Lovely, THE BEST Rest, and other noir classics originated by such writers as Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
