Beschreibung

In "Chief Inspector Pointer's Cases - 12 Golden Age Murder Mysteries," Dorothy Fielding masterfully weaves together twelve intricately plotted detective stories, reminiscent of the iconic works of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Each narrative showcases not only Fielding's adeptness at crafting suspenseful scenarios but also her trademark wit and vibrant characters. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the tales explore themes of morality, justice, and the darker side of human nature, all while adhering to the conventions of the Golden Age of Mystery literature, engaging readers with clever twists and red herrings. Fielding's background as a playwright and screenwriter informs her vivid storytelling style, characterized by sharp dialogue and well-defined character arcs. Her deep appreciation for the art of mystery writing is evident throughout the collection, drawing inspiration from her own experiences in the dynamic world of performance, where tension and resolution are crucial components. Fielding's unique perspective as a woman in a predominantly male genre adds a refreshing touch to the narratives, celebrating the intellect and resourcefulness of her protagonists. I highly recommend "Chief Inspector Pointer's Cases" to both connoisseurs of classic detective fiction and new readers alike. This collection not only honors the traditions of its literary forebears but also introduces a captivating sleuth whose cases will keep you guessing until the final pages. You are invited to immerse yourself in the cunning plots and delightful prose that define this exemplary volume.

    Chance Barkley left the drug world in the seventies, but is approached by a name from the past, Bull Curry, who heads a Texas Syndicate that has ruled the Southwest for over 30 years with ties that go deep into Mexico.  Curry has unearthed Harlan Taggert, A DEA Agent out of the El Paso office, who is digging around one of his operatives, and wants to put a deal together.  Curry wants him stopped. When you mix retired troubleshooters, the Texas Syndicate, and dirty federal agents with ten million dollars to spend on cocaine and heroin, you get the idea that the border is wide open, and any dog can rule the pack. And it's as real as the thousands of dead bodies that are buried from Culiacan to El Paso.Terminal Exposure is all these things and more. As the story unfolds you will understand more the depth of criminal activity that occurs daily on our southern border. It will tell you how it will never change unless Chance Barkley and his newly formed strike team succeeds in stopping Taggert and proving his guilt to the DEA.    The first of a three-part series, Terminal Exposure sets the tone for everything that is happening from Brownsville, Texas to Tiajuana, Mexico, from Peking to Sinaloa, and from the White House to China. Although a work of fiction, Terminal Exposure is factually accurate in its historical development of the border power struggles that plague the USA to this day.
