| Publisher Description: In this ninth volume of John Fulghum, PI, Mysteries, E. W. Farnsworth's Greater-Boston-area detective John Fulghum solves unusually challenging crimes with the help of brilliant and beautiful girlfriend Sylvia Blackwood, archivist of the Boston Globe, Nigel Pounce of Boston police homicide, Ken Mander and Sheila McCaw of the Central Intelligence Agency, and Dr. Sundt, Dr. Asplundh and the AI Cassandra of an unnamed, highly classified US government agency, and continues his unparalleled record of solutions. Farnsworth's taut, savvy, action-packed mysteries also push out the limits of technology in crime fighting--here with the breakthrough use of partial fingerprints and artificial intelligence built with the Occam's Razor algorithm. Second Chance, a thrilling novella in this volume takes Fulghum and his friends to Afghanistan to save Alia's siblings from the certain, savage retribution of the Taliban as America withdraws its forces, leaving anyone who helped America during the long Afghan war in peril. The troubles getting Alia, Fatima and their young brothers out of Afghanistan are paralleled by the problems they encounter among some Afghan exiles harboring under the 'Second Chance' sanctuary umbrella in America. This scenario, like many of Farnsworth's other fast-paced scenarios, is ripped from contemporary headlines and orchestrated for maximum excitement and suspense. Arizona author E. W. Farnsworth is widely published online and in print. A prize-winning short story writer in many, and mixed, genres, his detectives all break the mold for sleuth stereotypes, for example, John Fulghum of Greater Boston, Val Cassidy of the New York Police Department, "Wild Eagle" of Arizona, Manny Farstar, the Galactic Edgemaster, Samantha "Sam" Singleton and CIA agents code-named Anderson and Rachel. Farnsworth's nine published John Fulghum, PI, Mysteries volumes include three noir novels, several novellas and Farnsworth's inimitable short stories. The first seven volumes were published by Zimbell House Publishing, LLC, while Volume VIII and Volume IX are published by Audio Arcadia in the UK. The author is now working on a new John Fulghum, PI, novel, which will be Volume X in the John Fulghum, PI, Mysteries series. |
