Sucked in by a “richly scented plea for help” (say what?), struggling Chicago private eye SCANNER GRANT agrees to travel to Hong Kong with his client, Max Zwoelstra, a drop-dead gorgeous cheese heiress, to look for Max’s adoptive father, in A Nose for Trouble (2015), the first in a proposed series of “Max and Scanner” books.
Meanwhile, back home, Scanner’s cabbie friend Lobsang is up to his neck in a rassh of kidnappings and a particularly gruesome murder. Naturally, the two cases, half a world away from each other, turn out to be connected, but first Nazi scientists, Vietnamese pimps, Australians punter, Japanese priests and long buried secrets are introduced into the mix.
Mind you, I’m still struggling with “drop-dead gorgeous cheese heiress.”
So far, there’s been no sign of a sequel, but we shall see.
