The Great Flamingo Robbery (Lowan, #5) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Meet Lowan, a telepathic alien working as a private detective in the 1930s!

When a mangy-looking flamingo is stolen from the zoo, Lowan is called in to investigate. The trail of clues abruptly ends with a dead man found in an alley. Two other people are hot on the flamingo's traila sultry nightclub singer with the personality of a hunting tigress, and a hot-tempered South American military officer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The flamingo holds a secret worth killing for, and the key to a revolution.

S. E. Grosskopf's writing is strongly influenced by the old pulp fiction magazines and Golden Age radio dramas of the 1930s-1950s. If you like fast-paced action and mystery with a dash of urban fantasy and quirkiness, then you'll love these books. This is the fifth book in the series. The books follow chronologically. Reading them in order is recommended.

Autorenporträt

I grew up listening to old radio programs on NPR. Mysteries were always my favorite, especially The Shadow. When I found out that there were Shadow books also, and that the books were way better than the radio program, I ended up reading over a hundred of them. Along with copious amounts of Doc Savage and just about everything by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

And that was my introduction to pulp fiction. Fast-paced action, larger-than-life heroes and dastardly villains, clever dialogue, and one plot twist after another. Never a dull moment. I couldn't get enough of it.

In college, I double majored in English and History. My history professor once said to me, "You like the 1930s? You should read The Great Gatsby. It's the most exciting book ever!"

My response? "It's just people sitting around talking to each other. It needs more car chases and gunfights!"

Ah, well . . .

Everyone always says, "You majored in English and History? So, you're going to be a teacher?"

Nope, I'd rather write crazy mystery-fantasy-historical . . . pulp fiction.

I currently live on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, in a house built by my great-grandfather in the 1930s. I also play ragtime piano and have a small calico cat.
