Flapper
In 1922, all Max Hurlock and his
wife Allison wanted was a quiet life on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, but a late
night visit from an old friend plunges them into a baffling double murder in a
locked room. Along the way they encounter speakeasies, flappers, bathtub gin,
bootleggers and a future TV star in a case that seems to have more questions
than answers. To make matters worse, the killer strikes again and a suspicious
local police chief arrests Max for the murder!

three days.
Will Max stay out of jail long enough to solve the case?
Based
on a real case, Death of a Flapper takes you to a world of Prohibition, bathtub
gin, jazz, flappers and Model Ts.
News Flash- Master Detective goes East!
Kensington Publishing has licensed publishing rights for Master Detective
to Goodness Publishing in Taiwan, and Chongqing Publishing in the
People’s Republic of China. Although the Chongqing edition will not be out until
next year, theTaiwan edition has just been released.
Why
the Chinese interest in the Lindbergh kidnapping? Well, less than a year before
the kidnapping, the Lindberghs visited China to view flood damage and help plan
relief efforts, and are still remembered and well thought of there. In Nanking,
Anne Lindbergh bought a pair of red shoes for her baby, the baby that would soon
be taken away from her. While in China, the Lindberghs met Nationalist leader
Chiang Kai Shek, who later fled to Taiwan, which might account for the Taiwanese
interest.
So maybe it is understandable that the Chinese
have decided to publish their own editions of Master Detective, but for author
John Reisinger, the experience of seeing his work in Chinese characters is a
little surreal.
“I wrote it,”
John says, “but I can’t read it!”
