Acerca de este título
It is the year 1939 and Adam Paradise, the creature of Frankenstein legend, has returned to civilization to discover his place in the world.
While enjoying an evening of moviegoing in Chinatown with his friend Hank, they end up in the middle of a brazen robbery.
Adam thwarts the holdup, which puts him on the hit list of not only the Tongs, but Yakuza killers, the Italian mob, and a mysterious mastermind bent on starting an ethnic gang war.
With his faithful Roma secretary, Vandoma Kalderash, he and Hank are soon plunged into a whirlwind of ambushes and deadly double-crosses.
The patchwork private eye also discovers a level of reality beyond the material world that shakes the foundations of all his beliefs.
Can he defeat the unseen forces of this evil without losing the very humanity he's trying to attain? And who—or what—is Daitengu, a creature that knows his deepest secrets?
Reseñas de la crítica
“Teel James Glenn has penned one of the finest literary mashups of our time. Part Hammett, part Shelley, and all heart. A Walking Shadow is a wholly unique take on the PI mystery genre, so well written it will leave you longing for the next installment in this Shamus nominated series. Brilliant!” —Bruce Robert Coffin, bestselling author of Crimson Thaw
“This marvelous genre mashup was a fun read from beginning to end. Frankenstein’s monster – true to the book, not the movies, is presented as a 1930s hardboiled detective written in a tight, strong pulp style. Elements of Eastern mysticism blend smoothly with the sci-fi character in this sweet detective soup in a suspenseful story that pulls you through the action to a satisfying finish that left me eager for a sequel.” —Austin Camacho, author of eight novels in the Hannibal Jones Mystery Series, five in the Stark and O’Brien adventure series and short stories featured in the Edgar nominated African American Mystery Writers: A Historical and Thematic Study
