VALENTINE'S DAY ON MIAMI BEACH, 1942...

On a dark and rainy night, private detective Oscar Jade gets a call from the police: his friend, 18-year-old Ben Tuttle, has been found dead on the beach of an apparent suicide. As Jade investigates, signs immediately point to foul play when he inexplicably becomes the target of a relentless FBI agent who doesn't want the 'suicide' looked into, under any circumstances. Soon, the stakes escalate to life and death-for a great many people-when Jade is wrongly implicated in a nefarious sabotage plot...and it becomes clear that the war being fought on either side of the world has suddenly come home to Miami Beach.

Classic, retro-style crime noir-infused with breathless, high-octane violent action-Storm Maker raises the stakes on hard-boiled danger and excitement!

"Prepare to be taken on a journey to 1942 Miami Beach where the drinks are straight, the villain is ruthless and the anti-hero - the club-footed, hard-drinking, harder punching Oscar Jade - is the last man you'd want on your tail. Storm Maker is the antithesis to many novels written today - a nostalgic blast where monochrome images of Bogart and Bergman are conjured in the mind and the soundtrack crackles under the scratchy needle on an uneven gramophone. Loeffelholz writes in the Raymond Chandler vein..." - A P Bateman, Amazon #1 Best-Selling Author
