Mystery Historical | Mystery Private Eye
Winner of the Minotaur Books/Private Eye Writers of
America Best First Private Eye Novel Competition introducing
a black ex-boxer P.I. working in 1930s New
Orleans
Newly-minted private
investigator William Fletcher is having trouble finding
clientele. He's not the only man out of work, but his past
as a former heavyweight contender with a few shady
connections-not to mention the color of his skin in
race-obsessed New Orleans-isn't helping lure clients to his
door. Stuck without any viable alternative, he takes a case
from an old criminal acquaintance, Storm. His only client
assures him that the job is simple-locate his missing
estranged daughter, Zelda, no questions asked. But
when Fletcher starts knocking on doors, he sets off a
catastrophic chain of events that turn the city into a
bloody battleground between two rival syndicates. Then Storm
is murdered and Fletcher finds himself caught between the
police and dangerous mobsters. With Zelda's safety in the
balance, the unlikely private detective finds himself with a
lot more than he bargained for. The Red Storm
is the first novel from licensed private
investigator-turned-novelist Grant Bywaters.
