FINALLY! Ram Slade, Shamus is Published

 

 

This is the cover of my new book, Ram Slade, Shamus. The story is set in the year 1944 and centers around Ram's secretary, Luv (short for Loretta Ula Vargas), who quit working for him after five years, her faked suicide and eventual disappearance. As Ram begins his investigation into the strange happenings he becomes deeper and deeper involved in the case where nothing seems to be what it really was and no one is who then are supposed to be.

He teams up with Layne Fuentes, a reluctant homicide detective in pursuit for the apparent captive Luv. Everything that makes a hard-boiled detective story workable is in Ram Slade, Shamus including beautiful women, gun molls and, as Ram calls them, street weasels and hoods of all kind. Each layer of evidence he uncovers in his quest to find his ex-secretary only leads to more mystery and confusion. Bea, a new secretary causes to the turmoil within Ram's thoughts, plus Mandy, a gangster's wife who ask him to hide her from her husband. In desperation he turns to an influential ex-client of his who owes him a favor to find Luv.

A page turner is Ram Slade, Shamus . . . Ram Slade, Shamus
