The Mattison Matter

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

The testimony of a dying man is nearly unbreakable evidence. Tom Nenning is framed for murder, and the worst part of it is that the victim himself gave Tom's name to the police. Lowan steps in to investigate and discovers a complex web of evidence and motivations connecting everything from the mayor's office to a radio manufacturer Lowan himself works for as a freelance engineer. Tom's life is at stake, and with sixty thousand dollars in city funds providing the motive, the murderer won't hesitate to strike again. If Lowan continues the investigation, he'll find himself as the next target.

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 the twelfth book in the series. The books follow chronologically. Reading them in order is recommended.
