Genie for Hire: A Biff Andromeda Mystery is a private eye novel with a paranormal, urban fantasy twist. Biff is an ancient genie in a buff body, working as a private investigator in a twenty-first century Miami suburb. He uses his magical powers to investigate a case that begins with a set of missing negatives, and morphs into something much more deadly, especially when he realizes that the dangerous female genie he has loved and lost over centuries has become involved. Photographer Sveta Pshkov has a problem. She took a series of boudoir photos of a young Russian woman, believing the woman wanted them for her husband. When her workroom is burglarized and the negatives stolen, she comes to Biff's agency, down the hall from her studio. Unable to resist a damsel in distress, Biff takes the case. He discovers, however, that the woman is dead, and her husband, a Russian mobster, is missing. Aided by a squirrel named Raki, a sylph who manifests as a white butterfly, and the alluring and dangerous woman of his dreams, Biff struggles against ancient demons and modern monsters. With his keen sense of smell, his ability to turn into a wisp of vapor, and his sarcastic wit, Biff battles his romantic obsession and a pack of ruthless criminals to bring this case to a satisfying conclusion.
