Produktbeschreibung
A fast-paced work of hardboiled fiction, Great Point Clear tells the troubled tale of Tyler Ganzy. As a young field hand in Sweet Bend, Alabama, Tyler fell in love with Baltimore beauty Iry Tuttle during the summer of 1942. Everything was picture perfect-until the couple witnessed a murder that went unsolved. Without evidence, and with his word weighing less in the community than the murderer's, Tyler ran-right into the arms of the US Army. After surviving World War II, he returned to his country, but not to his home. Afraid of the still-unsuspected murderer, he enrolled in a northern university and ended up as a journalist in the Big Apple. Fast-forward to 1959: Tyler is tired of living in fear, and he can't shake his memories of sweet Iry. So when his editor hears of possible UFOs seen flying over the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Tyler sees his chance and snatches the story. Written with noir-fiction flair, Great Point Clear is deeply layered with love, humor, and a search for justice. It is a novel rich with dialogue that immerses readers in the heart of the South, offering a fascinating glimpse of a past that seems so real, it just might have been.
