After a homeless man is mutilated in a dirty alley, a coded note leads his best friend deep into the dangerous underworld of the Los Angeles streets. Will he discover the killer's identity before becoming the next victim?

The Vagrant Mystery Series begins here!

Hands severed at the wrist. Eyes carved from his skull. Dead under a dumpster.
How do you find justice when you are one of society’s forgotten?

Ernie Politics is a schizophrenic albino who loves conspiracy theories. When he’s murdered, the police have no interest in wasting time on the death of one homeless man, so Ray Cobb, Ernie's best friend, decides to solve the mystery for himself.

Ray finds a cryptic note Ernie scrawled days before his death and realizes that Ernie's ravings and irrational writings may contain hidden clues about the identity of his killer.

Pulled deep into the dangerous underworld of the Los Angeles streets, Ray discovers a vagrant underground railroad, a poker game where the stakes are one’s life, and a political conspiracy that entangles him with an LAPD cold case detective.

Ray uncovers more about Ernie than he expects to and learns when you live on the streets, the only person you can trust is yourself.

The Last Will and Testament of Ernie Politics is the first volume of Brad Grusnick's Vagrant Mystery Series, a modern noir exploring the underbelly of Los Angeles.
