1929 was the end of a golden age. Six aspiring writers spin tales set in a time in history when changes were afoot. While some sought the American Dream, others had to deal with vampiric siblings. Facing lost loves and gaining new freedoms define the beginning of a new age. Of course, the government was going through some changes itself in The Black Chamber, while everyday heroes could be confused with the Devil. Which will be your favorite?Featured Contributors: A.

John Fulghum, a Boston area Private Investigator, is at it again in E. W. Farnsworth's latest collection of titillating noiresque detective stories.

Farnsworth ever wrote about the noir detective, John Fulghum, PI, - The Horse Lady Murders, and A Horse for Christmas. In addition to these short stories there is also a novella, Case of the VP Murder, that investigates the breakthrough use of robotics along with artificial intelligence in detective work.

The executive assistant and unlikely wife of a wealthy Boston centenarian -that just happens to be a Korean War hero, and now a murder victim- Kim Su Baek spins Fulghum an incredible tale with roots in the ancient Korean royal family. Yet Fulghum believes her incredible tale and accepts the case to prove her innocent of murder.To solve this case and exonerate his client, the Jack Daniels-loving gumshoe's investigation must balance relationships among his Pulitzer-Prize winning girlfriend/reporter, Sylvia Blackwood; his friends-Boston Homicide Officer, Nigel Pounce, and CIA Agent, Ken Salamander; and his client, as they become drawn into a deadly labyrinth designed by both sides of the conflict on the Korean peninsula. The plot finally focuses on a plethora of suspects at the deceased man's estate in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The murky intrigue of this case causes a nail-biting succession of horrific deaths, culminating in attempts on the very lives of all our major characters. Who will survive and who is guilty?E. W.

Baro Xaimos: A Novel of the Gypsy Holocaust follows the nearly miraculous survival path of a group of Roma, led by Tobor Mericano, through the Nazi years, including World War II. The novel opens in the 1930's on the eve of the formation of the Marzahn Camp. This camp was the prototype for a system of concentration camps designed to contain, oppress and ultimately kill all Roma within Nazi occupied Europe. The gypsies manage to escape the traps set by the German government to find a base of operations in the USSR. From there, gypsies are dispatched by Moscow Center to operate as intelligence gatherers and assassins against the Nazis. These brave souls achieve a semblance of normalcy while in a Russia full of intrigue, by marrying, having children and staying on the move. Baro Xaimos focuses on the love of Tobor Mericano for Drina Mettbach and on the exploits of Tobor's sister, Nadya Hanstein, a widowed fortune teller who encounters both Hitler and Stalin in her professional role and accidentally changes the course of history.

The style of E. W. Farnsworth's stories reminds one of Chandler or Elroy on amphetamines. John "Jack" Fulghum, Private Investigator, bachelor, former war hero and inveterate outsider, solves grisly homicide cases that stump the overworked police forces of Boston and other cities. To solve these cases, he crosses jurisdictional boundaries in the US and abroad and teams with close, like-minded friends Nigel Pounce of Boston Homicide and Kenneth Mander, of the Central Intelligence Agency. These stories are not for the faint of heart. In "Hammer" the hard-boiled detective solves the case of the bloodthirsty murder and chainsaw dismemberment of two men and a woman. In "Crop Duster" he solves the case of the execution style murders of two boys who witnessed an unacknowledged black operation in the Deep South. In three linked stories, Fulghum works for a gypsy family and becomes involved in a gypsy war. Two linked "Hacker" stories tell how Fulghum works unofficially with the CIA and NSA to track down a vicious hacker. In "Bloody End of the Line" the detective helps eliminate some of the worst ISIS beheading murderers. Finally three linked "Headshot" stories are about a sniper's legacy bringing the detective face to face with the killer on Boston Common and a domestic intelligence organization with tentacles that reach to an island off the coast of Venezuela. Farnsworth suggests much more than he tells in stories that sit on the edge of a barely visible, deadly and forbidden territory that twisted systems have created by policy to protect the guilty.

The Perfect Teacher, John Fulghum Mysteries, Vol. IV, by E. W. Farnsworth takes you through the intriguing exploits of hard-boiled Boston area private investigator, John Fulghum with the services of his friends, Ken Mander of the CIA, and Nigel Pounce of Boston Homicide, to unravel the secrets of Fulghum's latest case. Fulghum, and his long-time girlfriend, Boston Globe archivist Sylvia Blackwood, go undercover to solve a murder at a small Catholic college in the Greater Boston area. The case puts both their lives in danger as their performances in their respective classrooms earns them respect and even adulation among their students, fellow faculty and the administration alike. From this experience, Blackwood sees the path to her third Pulitzer Prize, while Fulghum returns to Jack Daniels and Marlboro cigarettes in his smoky office above Joe's Ice Cream Shop in Bedford. Can Fulghum's longstanding relationship with Blackwood be sustained after their trial by fire? Or will the dark facts of life as a private investigator overshadow their bond?

John Fulghum Mysteries presents neo-noir short stories dedicated to the Private Investigator, John Fulghum, that just happens to be a decent, brilliant former war hero and gumshoe. Working out of an unlikely second-story office in Greater Boston, he solves crimes that no one else will handle because they fall outside the parameters or jurisdiction of normal police work. They're dirty crimes, involving savage methods and little-understood societal forces most people would rather ignore than address. In the process of solving his crimes, Fulghum, often at the risk of his life, works with his like-minded friends, Officer Nigel Pounce of Boston Homicide, Randy Mortenson-the ex-Special Forces soldier, or Kenneth Mander-the shadowy clandestine CIA operative. Fulghum operates on the edge of the law and always beyond the limits of propriety. While his solutions do not extend to politically-correct society, they're the ones that condone and often harbors the evil criminals that Fulghum hunts down. His solace for being a cleaner-up of filth lies in his racing forms, his Jack Daniels whisky, and his Marlboro cigarettes. His life is a series of journeys and returns, but the center of his universe remains the same: honor and justice in a world without either.
