Think about it: with trade routes disrupted, and international travel -- even interstate travel -- unreliable or impossible, there would be no out-of-season foods or exotic fruits, no commercial airlines or cruise ships. And coal, gasoline, building materials, light bulbs, paper products -- anything not produced in your local area -- would become commodities only the rich could afford.
In the case of Adam Twist, the thing he misses most is a good, strong cup of coffee. After all, what Private Investigator in history ever solved a crime without a constant dose of caffeine to keep the brain cells stroking on all eight cylinders? But even though coffee -- and money, but hey, what’s new? -- is in short supply, one thing that’s never in short supply in Twist’s life is trouble.
Adam Twist, as a character study, was fun to write because he is a dark hero, a throwback to the flawed but honorable detectives of the 1950s. This is a noir novel with the undertones of a black-and-white movie, but set in a violent global future that we all fear may be closer than we think.
Be forewarned! Twist is a fun read, but intense. Adult content and violence. No erotica, but a dark sensibility that is meant for mature readers who enjoy a ride through the worst side of human nature as Adam Twist searches for a lost girl, and his own redemption.
