Brown's Requiem 2000

As Fritz Brown navigates the treacherous streets of Los Angeles, he grapples with the shadows of his tumultuous history. Once a disgraced former LAPD officer, he now works as a private investigator and part-time repo man, while striving to stay sober after battling alcoholism. His latest assignment draws him into the world of Freddy “Fat Dog” Baker, an overweight caddy whose questionable intentions send Fritz spiraling into a thrilling mystery.

Initially hired to keep an eye on Fat Dog’s sister, Jane, Fritz’s investigation takes an unexpected turn when he uncovers a puzzling relationship between Jane and the enigmatic millionaire Solly Kupferman. As Fritz digs deeper into this unusual connection, he uncovers odd dynamics that raise his suspicions. His surveillance reveals a shocking twist: a secretive deal between Solly and Cathcart, the crooked Internal Affairs Chief who was responsible for Fritz’s disgrace and departure from the police force.

This revelation launches Fritz into a whirlwind of chaos as he starts to believe that Fat Dog is enmeshed in a network of deceit. The plot thickens when Fat Dog abruptly vanishes, prompting Fritz to search high and low for clues. His relentless pursuit ultimately leads him to a grim conclusion: Freddy “Fat Dog” Baker has been murdered in Mexico, his body discovered at the hands of the merciless Richard Ralston, who is entangled in a seedy operation involving illegal social welfare benefits. Adding to his despair is the absence of a crucial notebook, which contained records of Fat Dog’s illicit dealings and represents the last thread of evidence tying Fritz to the case.

As the layers of corruption, murder, and betrayal begin to peel away, Fritz finds himself ensnared in a complex web of danger. His journey for the truth pits him against crooked cops, lethal hitmen, and other unsavory characters, all with their own interests at heart. In this perilous landscape, the stakes are high, and the fight for justice is fraught with peril.
