Love Of Film Noir Leads To Novel

I want you to find my dead husband, she said. I should've run right then. I should've. But I didn't.

With this opening, Renee Pawlish, author of Nephilim Genesis of Evil, brings us into the world of Reed Ferguson with This Doesn't Happen In The Movies (225 pages, tpb, $13.95, ebook, 99 cents).

Author R.J. McDonnell says of This Doesn't Happen In The Movies, "The plot works on all levels, the supporting cast is great, and Pawlish reveals key elements of Reed's character with light brush strokes and a master's touch."

Reed Ferguson is a wannabe private eye with a love of film noir and detective fiction. When a rich, attractive femme fatale hires Reed to find her missing husband, it doesn't take long before Reed realizes that all is not as it seems, and he is thrust into a dark and daring investigation.

Channeling his noir hero, Humphrey Bogart, Reed finds himself after a sinister group with their own brand of vigilante justice.

This Doesn't Happen In The Movies is available at Amazon and Smashwords (for other ereaders).
