The first in a series of Sterling Quinn, detective extraordinare novellas (approx 42 pages). Sterling Quinn, the uncompromising police officer turned private detective, always found his way into the mind of the weak, determining their thoughts and deeds before they could react. His was a mind that was consistently precise and determined, yet at times imbalanced to the point of recklessness. He observed the world with a machine-like quality, constantly sensing what the casual observer could not. But his passions were misplaced when it came to the deep reasoning of love, never completely understanding the fine points of a woman, especially the intoxicating Anna Mercer. Conversely, his strong emotionless appearance became the driving force for piercing the veil of the criminal mind. No matter the complexities of his existence, he remained deeply attracted by the study of crime, tortured by the unresolved nature of his parent’s murder. Only his compatriot drug of choice, the nearest bottle of whiskey, allowed him to cope with the intense ambition etched into his DNA. The lethargic effects of the drug combined with the fierce energy of his own powerful nature presented a riddle that was at worst disturbing. He became feared yet befuddled by victims and criminals alike, unraveling mysteries and crimes which had been abandoned as hopeless by police. The Sterling Quinn mystery series will engulf you and drive you to another world where you will find yourself making assumptions right along with detective Quinn and his investigative columnist partner, Harrison Reed.
