The things a gumshoe does
to pay the rent.
About the Book: Spirits, sorcerers, and the truly desperate of San
Francisco's seedy neighborhoods know Johnny Talon as a private detective solves
impenetrable cases in a way no one else does. His use of lucid dreams and
subconscious insights lead him to the truth. Talon has his work cut out for him
when he's hired by Eve, a sex worker, to find and free the soul of her deceased
wife from a sorcerer who hopes to entrap Eve.
The closer he gets to finding
the soul of Eve's wife, the more Talon's life may be on the line as he learns
that there is more to his client than an angry woman. When his investigation
leads him into hell, Talon has an epiphany: if he's going to free Eve's wife,
he has to uncover her true identity.
Our Review: Fans of the 50s noir style of writing will glom onto this contemporary
paranormal mystery and hold it close. The varied characters are vivid and
unpredictable which keeps the pages turning as Johnny Talon travels the streets
of the city by the bay in order to find the true evil behind each attack.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Johnny Talon and The Goddess of Love and War merits
a 3.5.
