Lovers And Killers: A Stiletto Gumshoe Novel
About this ebook
Sharon's never asked for much, just a comfy perch atop a cocktail lounge barstool, a tall cool highball and a twirl or two on a dance floor (or something, if the mood's right) with a real looker. After all, some people are just lovers. But some are killers.
And Sharon's about to discover if maybe, she's a little of both.
Lovers And Killers is the follow-up to Sharon Gardner's debut in The Stiletto Gumshoe, and once again gives a nod and a wink to 1950's/1960's private eye series, swapping that era's many iconic hard-boiled P.I.'s for a memorable, streetwise twenty-two year old just struggling to get by in Chicago's ethnic blue-collar bungalow rows. It's a mid-twentieth century man's world that may be right on the cusp of big social changes, but definitely isn't there yet!
About the author
C.J. Thomas is a designer by profession and writer by vocation, a lifelong mystery, crime fiction and film noir fan with a special fondness for classic mid-twentieth century Hollywood crime films, that era's hard-boiled detective novels and crime pulps as well as the commercial illustrators whose work did so much to visualize those genres in paperback and magazine cover art, interior illustrations, movie posters and more. Born and raised in the very same ethnic blue-collar bungalow rows this novel is set in, Thomas is still a Chicagoland resident. For more Sharon Gardner (or Sasha Garodnowicz), look for 'Stiletto Gumshoe' tales in the Noir Quartet series of short story collections and the character's debut novel, The Stiletto Gumshoe.
