Fiction Writer Unleashes Detective Novel from a New Perspective

Debut Author, Joe Humphrey, has managed to do something in the Private Eye genre that probably has not been seen at any time prior. He plans to reinvigorate the genre with his new novel, A Dirty Business, which tells the story of a deprived New Yorker who makes a fateful entry into the private investigation industry sans any knowledge of the ins and outs of the field itself, which is a rather original approach, given all the conventions associated with the genre. What results from Humphrey’s valiant attempt is a tautly written account of the inexpert efforts of a unique novice detective, who is sent on a twisted trail that involves deception, betrayal, intrigue, and, greatest of all, murder.

The book conveys an atmospheric tale with a strong prose style that reads like a throwback to the greats. Not only are interesting and flawed characters explored, but we are taken on a thrill ride through interesting parts of New York itself, which acts as a fitting backdrop to a tale about privileged socialites with inner demons and a detective whose purpose it is to disclose them.

The dialogue in A Dirty Business is crisp, and as real as any taken from real life, and one can envision the various scenes depicted with incredible clarity, owing to the simple yet deft writing of Mr. Humphrey, who seems destined for greatness.

A Dirty Business, in short, is a must-read, for fans of mystery fiction, and those who have yet to dabble in the genre.

The book is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and Borders Stores.com. You can also request it at your local bookstore.
