Edie (Peter MacAlister #1)

Scott C. Smith

4.9/5 (28795 ratings)

Description:He’s a loner, 35 in ’85, which any Boomer knows was about ten minutes ago yesterday. One thing he has, besides a penchant for bad habits and intoxicating women, is time, and he’s inclined to invest it in others. Especially if there’s a return on investment. “She was a throwback to older times. Her hair was blond, strewn with streaks of tan and gray, and it was probably longer than it should have been. It tucked in a wave against broad, padded shoulders, and the effect gave her a look of experience. Her hips clipped to the assured gait of a woman wiser than most. Her dress clung sweet; her waist trimmed narrow. I didn’t mind seeing her, and she didn’t mind being seen.” And so begins Peter MacAlister’s adventure with Edie, who seeks his help recovering a lost inheritance. Peter’s a reporter by day, covers the grimy streets of his small city on New England’s South Coast. And he’ll bite at any chance to change it up – whether it’s slipping out of the newsroom for chili and beer at Danny Shaunnisey’s, hunching over a couple of bourbons at Eddy’s Café, or partnering with his pal, aging attorney Mory Wilbur, as they help others who have nowhere else to turn. So, hop into Peter’s old Volvo 240 with him and Edie as they steer off into an adventure they never expected toward a fate neither could have imagined. Trigger-happy, drug-peddling gang members, nouveau mobsters, and holed up society dropouts are among the characters they encounter and contend with on their mission to claim what’s rightfully hers. And his piece of the pie. “Edie” is the first novel in the New England-based Peter MacAlister Mystery series. “Monique” is the second, and others are in development. Get your Peter MacAlister Mystery novels exclusively on Amazon.com. Scott C. Smith is the author of the farcical, warm action series THE LGBT SUPERHEROES! Books I-III, also available exclusively on Amazon.com. It is warm and endearing character- and plot-driven action entertainment for an accepting audience, and is intended to celebrate diversity. Smith says he wrote the novels to read like movies on the page. His stories show that quirky characters banding together for a bigger cause can indeed become far greater than the sum of their parts, and that adversity as well as diversity can open doors to exciting challenges and adventures.From 5-star “Fast paced mystery with a comfortably seedy setting and an inevitable (and doubtless inevitably doomed) romance. Peter being a newspaper reporter allows him a distinct toolkit for solving the mystery, and as a result the reliable mystery format feels refreshed. A new seasoning in a favorite dish. Good book.” “Edie is the best work yet by Scott Smith. With this book, he has hit his stride as an author, telling a ‘page turner’ story that is fun and exciting to read. I've read all his books so far and I'm becoming a dedicated fan.” “This is a fabulous, classy mystery with a dash of film noir. … The writing is superb and CLEVER, and you feel like you know Peter MacAlister as he takes you on this stealth trip through the docks and alleyways of coastal towns. If you love a good mystery and a surprise ending (!!!) this is the book series for you.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
