The Dick Moonlight series is Vincent Zandri’s most distinctive creation. Moonlight is a private investigator in Albany, New York, who carries a bullet in his head from a suicide attempt — a condition that gives him unpredictable memory problems and could kill him at any moment. This premise turns every case into a race against his own mortality while making him an inherently unreliable narrator.
Across thirteen novels from 2009 to 2025, Moonlight has taken on cases ranging from missing persons to murder, always with the added complication of his medical condition. The series blends hardboiled PI tradition with a dark sense of humor about Moonlight’s situation. Titles like Moonlight Falls, Blue Moonlight, and Moonlight Weeps follow a consistent naming convention that has become a signature of the series.
