Book Description
Seasoned detective, Jason Carmichael, is assigned the task of determining the controversial death of a fellow deputy in the mountains east of Sonora, California. Assertions of suicide, a possible accident, or a drug-related hit plague Jason since there is no conclusive evidence to prove either. Sheriff Owen Wheeler assigns a gutsy, self-confident woman as an aide to Jason. Attractive and married, the woman demands the deceased deputy be, at least, afforded the dignity of an official burial. An act she feels will finally bring him home. Having this woman at his side was not Jason's choice, but soon finds out what his life would be without her. A tiny circle is Jason's only compelling evidence to solving the case until their paths cross with that of a rogue cop who makes an unsolicited remark while being questioned as part of another wider investigation. Will Jason condemn this rogue or thank him?

Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
The Blue Terraplane is a 89 page novel. This novel is written in the local unadorned Black dialect spoken in 1937 Bronzeville, Chicago. Bishop Flipper was a poor runaway southern Black orphaned teenager who encountered a starving crippled old Black man with a three-legged dog. After sharing his meager food with this old man, the old man promised the orphaned teenager a blessed life in Chicago for six and a half years. On July 12, 1937, Madame Madelyn, a frail pipe-smoking elderly woman, invited Bishop to her to mysterious storefront business. Madelyn, a voodoo priestess, warned her guest that his blessed six-and-a-half year period would end on July 13, 1937. This old lady offered the young man a battered old bronze magic ring, which she claimed would protect him from any harm. At noon, July 13, Bishop encounters Raoul La Croix and Paloma Issert. Raoul was huge menacing-looking, baldheaded Black man with a long serpentine stiletto who was treating the helpless Paloma Issert in the local Illinois Central train station. Paloma Issert was a young girl, from Algiers, Louisiana, who was desperately attempting to escape from Raoul. Quickly, Raoul became Bishop's adversary, while Paloma became his femme fatale.
