DODGE PULASKI
THE ART OF SOLUTIONS MANAGEMENT
Other People Solve Crimes. Dodge Pulaski Solves Problems.
Dodge is a former, highly trained serviceman, a tough, street-smart problem solver with a sharp tongue, a strong moral compass, and little patience for those who prey on the innocent. He’s not a cop or a private detective. He’s a solutions manager – a guy who takes on problems others can’t solve, or simply don’t have the stomach or skill to handle. His methods? Whatever it takes.
Join Dodge in Chicago as he navigates his way through cases requiring just a slap on the wrist, to the dangers of dismantling a Ukrainian gang’s drug operation, to destroying a burgeoning, sex-trading organization, and even to stopping a million dollar art theft.
Dodge Pulaski – is a tough, wisecracking problem solver who gets the job done, even when the rules get in the way. This is a fast paced, entertaining crime thrill for readers who like their heroes independent, their villains accountable, and their stories served with a healthy dose of humor.
Dodge is the guy we all wish we were tough enough to be – and certainly the guy you’d want in your corner when things go sideways. He’d also be a great guy to sit and have a beer with.

Monroe Reviews says:
This is a character driven crime thriller that follows an unconventional “solutions manager” operating in Chicago’s gritty neigh-borhoods. The action should appeal to fans of Robert B. Parker and John D. MacDonald
Jim Werheim, Omaha
One of the best new characters since Spenser and Jack Reacher. Love this guy. Can’t wait till the next book comes out. Hope all the same characters are in it. So glad there will be a series of books.
Jerry Davis, Vero Beach
This is a super new character. He’s likeable, down right funny at times, and self deprecating. That said, he is also formidable. I want this guy to take care of a few of my problems that I’m not tough enough to handle. I wish he was real. I’d be a client.
Suzy Burns, San Diego
This is an easy read thriller. It includes suspense, danger, and a few laughs. I didn’t want it to be over. Pulaski is kind of a combo of Jack Reacher and Tyson Wild. Oh, and his girlfriend sounds smok’n hot. Hope the next book comes out soon.
“If you are looking for a hero who quotes Chaucer, or Thoreau, or TS Eliot, boy have you got the wrong guy. Bill Murray in Caddie Shack ranks close to the top of my sophistication level"

"My situation here is not good. I'm beat up with a swollen jaw and maybe a couple loose teeth. My eye is swollen shut, and I have throbbing pain in the back of my head from whoever hit me with a pipe. And, of course, I'm still tied to this damn chair with heavy duty cable ties."
