• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Thirty years. My, how the time has flown by. And with that has come changes. But that's the way it is. Nothing ever stays the same. As old Johnny O'Brien always used to say, "Time is like a river. Either flow with it or drown."

Here, in the near future of Bones and Ashes, 2053 has seen a bunch of changes. Johnny, long retired, has finally passed on and left Watchmaker Enterprises to a younger man, Chief Investigator Dallin Weeks.

Weeks, in respect to his late mentor and friend, opens an investigation into a Detroit cold case long troubling the mind of the retired O'Brien; the depression era disappearance of a young girl, kidnapped by henchmen of mobster boss Scarface Al Capone and thought to be murdered.

A nice safe journey down family history lane.

Or is it?

Autorenporträt

Lee Capp (Larry Lee Caplin) was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1949, back when the Motor City was the crown jewel of the Midwest, and the center of the manufacturing might of America. Raised on motors and Motown and brought up in a tiny suburb called Walled Lake, he had a very misspent youth focused on rock and roll music, amusement parks, good friends (some of which were even girls) movies, golden age television shows and fortunately lots of really good books. Personal favorites among them were the popular anthologies of Alfred Hitchcock and Dorothy Sayers and the crime novels of Ellery Queen and Mickey Spillane. In addition to being a life-long writer of what he calls "Unsold and unsellable dumb stupid stuff" Capp has worked in many fields during his long career, including a short but very interesting stint as an apprentice embalmer in a Tucson, Arizona funeral home and a fish monger in Seattle, Washington. The fish selling he has said was equivalent to an advanced college degree in the study of human nature. Johnny O'Brien is a compilation of Capp himself, who descends from Irish, Scottish and English farmers, fishermen and lumberjack immigrants, and he says, a number of other (verbally at least) bad-assed friends of his youth. Capp says that "if we all were even a tenth as tough as we thought we were, we could have ruled the world." Lee Capp and his wife Bea, retired at last from the workaday world, now reside among the pines, ponds and streams outside Seattle, Washington, where he continues to see just how much trouble he can get Johnny O'Brien and Matt McCabe into the next time around.
