BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...

Especially to anyone looking for love in the wrong places. This story has looked in depth at the unsuspected danger, risk, threat and guilt that comes to married people who think it's casual or normal that they can cheat their spouses behind their back. It's very evident that they are lonely, desperate or unhappy in their lives or relationships.  Jake, a Journalist at New York Banner is hellbent to prove the mysterious death of Matt Furman. Matt a hiker and a married man who dated women online behind his wife and children's back ended up falling down accidently to the Hudson river. Was Matt's death a tragic accident or murder? The irony is that Matt was dating Sonya online. Sonya disliked Matt at their first encounter at the Palisade trail. Jake who covers stories desires to know why Matt committed infidelity...
