Silent Echo, by JR Rain

Mr. Rain's twist on the standard private investigator mystery novel is that his hero, Jim Booker, is dying of AIDS and lung cancer.   Every page is an agonizing recap of Booker's pain, lack of strength, and misery.

Just say yuck; even outside the downer tone of the novel, it isn't even that interesting of a mystery.
