About this listen

Private detective Tracer Spence is being stalked by the song "You're So Vain," hearing it every day for a year. When he's hired by a man with the same problem, Spence realizes that his case is connected to another that he's working on-that of a kidnapped sister.

In the process of solving both mysteries, Spence uncovers violent henchmen, a Mick Jagger doppelganger, and man-eating shadow creatures.

But even Spence's clients are hiding secrets. Secrets that will throw the private eye into a conspiracy of a mysterious organization hell-bent on keeping the origin of Carly Simon's song unknown. But these threats are only amplified by another: the fact that Tracer Spence is the worst private detective out there.

Critic reviews

"The Vain Curse, a unique, quirky, un-politically correct detective caper about an inept PI who is hired to find out who Carly Simon wrote the song 'You're so Vain' about, is consistently laugh out loud funny. Ryan Morgan Miller's writing is skilled, irreverent, and hilariously absurd. Five out of five stars." –Sasha Lauren, author of The Paris Predicament
