As a mystery lover, I really liked the protagonist, Jacob, who is hip, witty, and broke. He is a throwback to the the noir genre. Set in the Bay Area, it is a realistic portrait of the affluent, digital Silicon Valley and San Francisco. It was fun to recognize street names and neighborhoods. I was rooting for Jacob to solve his case.

Funny detective story

Good story about drugs and silicon valley.
Loser pi gets in over his head but good wit.
Highly recommended to mystery noir fans

One has admiration and sympathy for Jacob, the detective, in this witty and satirical mystery set in the Bay Area. His stamina for solving a case is not deterred. It helps when his client is beautiful and sexy. Between his phobias, his outlook on a world full of obstacles, and a crazy night in Las Vegas, "The Case on a Cliff" keeps you reading to the very end.
