Whew! Finally, a new year and a new collection of my novels.
In this case, all five of the James Murray Mysteries in one place! Yeah!
As you probably remember, James Murray is a young man with a
dream -- to be a writer just like his idol, Dashiell Hammett. He pens his first
novel while working as a clerk at a swank downtown department store. He writes
his second while working at a famous movie studio turning his first novel into
a screenplay. His third novel chronicles his adventures trying to find a
kidnapped scientist. His fourth novel details his efforts to help a baseball
player find the source of several blackmail threats. In the fifth and
concluding novel, James faces the most dangerous threat of all: the ghost of a
young woman who died in mysterious circumstances.
Now, for the first time, you can read all five James Murray
Mysteries in one place: Murder at Eastern Columbia which takes place
in the downtown Los Angeles of 1931, Sabotage at RKO Studio set in
1933 Hollywood, Abduction at Griffith Observatory which takes place
in 1935, Blackmail at Wrigley Field set in 1937, and Haunting at
Ocean House set in 1939.
Each of these novels is unlike any other book you've read:
Not single novels, they are each two parallel novels, featuring two heroes,
working two mysteries in two different versions of 1930s Los Angeles. Join
James and his hard-boiled alter ego -- neither a private detective nor a police
officer: just someone "who wants to help" -- as they each try to
solve the mystery.
Along the way, you will encounter a rich cast of characters
and visit countless Southern California locations.
Come along for the ride in these five complete novels about
Los Angeles in the 1930s!
