Storm Maker

The time is 1942--and World War II has finally reached the United States. The place is Miami Beach--as stormy as it is sultry. Private Investigator Oscar Jade is investigating a suicide. Only one problem: he refuses to accept that it's a suicide. Actually, that's just the first problem. As he investigates, he discovers layers of treachery and deceit, and an FBI agent who's tailing him for a mysterious reason. Ultimately, nothing is what it seems to be, and Jade realizes that another world war has come ashore...and will be fought right there--at home.

Storm Maker is the second in Mark Loeffelholz's series of 1940s-era mystery-and-action thrillers. Fans of noir will love escaping into Oscar Jade's adventures. At the same time, Storm Maker is different from other PI stories in that the hero has a club left foot, which makes everything Jade does more difficult, from being inconspicuous to responding to the physical demands of being an action hero. It also makes him more thoughtful toward others' challenges. This modern take on an old genre fits the mold while breathing new life into the page-turner.
