Lowan's Checkmate

Meet Lowan, a telepathic alien working as a private detective in the 1930s!

When an honest man carrying a fortune in diamonds disappears from a locked hotel room, the police are baffled. Detective Lieutenant Marx, an introverted underdog, teams up with Lowan, a telepathic private detective. The hunt for clues spans locations from an upscale country club to an underworld speakeasy. The criminal mastermind sets his sights on more ambitious targets—and nothing will stop him from announcing checkmate.

S. E. Grosskopf's writing is strongly influenced by the old pulp fiction magazines and Golden Age radio dramas of the 1930s-1950s. If you like fast-paced action and mystery with a dash of urban fantasy and quirkiness, then you'll love these books. This is an ~100-page novella. This is the first book in a long series.
