description:
San Francisco
detective Ed Sampas is sitting in his office when Thelonius Noble
enters
and says he wants to
hire Sampas to recover a stolen item.
It’s a black statue
of a
bird, about a foot high, made of lead.
"Sounds like the
Maltese falcon," Sampas jokes.
"It is," Noble
responds.
Turns out, Noble owns
the statue from the 1941 film, and it’s worth a million dollars.
Reel Life
Crime mirrors the plot of
Dashiell Hammett’s novel and John Huston’s film,
while being an
original mystery in its own right, a tongue-in-cheek hard-boiled detective
story,
an affectionate
tribute to the noir genre, and a commentary on how much movies
impact our culture and
our everyday lives.
Q: What will e-readers like about your
book?
It’s well-written, it’s funny, it’s
imaginative.
It’s especially fun for fans of
hard-boiled detective fiction as well as people familiar with
The Maltese Falcon and/or San Francisco.
Q: Why did you go
indie?
I kept getting positive responses to
the book from agents and publishers, but even with the positive responses no one
would take it on. Because I believe in the book, I finally decided to
take matters in to my own hands.
Q: Who are your favorite authors in your
genre?
Dashiell Hammett, Raymond
Chandler.
