Harvey Burgess Kiss Her Goodbye

If you love Perry Mason smarts combined with Matlock's finesse with a touch of Angela Lansbury. You need to hook up wtih Kiss Her Goodbye. From the I Heart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Harvey Burgess Remember Magnum P.I.? Spenser? Maybe Humphrey Bogart’s Sam Spade? Those time-honored private eyes that you’d love to hang out with, have a beer, talk about life, hear about their cases? Houston Cash is that kind of guy. An unassuming ex-cop with a laid-back manner, some interesting connections and a penchant for taking on cases that 1) piss off the local cop brass (he has a bone to pick with at least one of them) and 2) always lead to some kind of explosive situation that requires wit, skill and sheer bravery to overcome. In “Kiss Her Goodbye,” Houston takes on a case that starts out as what appears to be the simple stalking of a high-profile banker’s trophy wife but soon seems to have its own mob connection, then it suddenly plunges into a life-or-death kidnapping that takes off across the country, has a mysterious, diabolical villain and ultimately comes to an explosive climax on the cliffs of Malibu, California. You find pretty quickly that nothing is as it seems. Think ‘Body Heat’ with a slightly southern accent. Along the way you get to know Houston and delve into some pretty interesting characters that create twists and turns you’ll never figure out until the last page. And this is just his first case, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. Like Yogi Berra says, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” and the adventures of Houston Cash are only just beginning!
