The Crux Ansata

A cynical private eye, a beautiful and dangerous woman, a violent English thug, and a team of Arab criminals – it’s the perfect recipe for trouble.

And that’s what Chicago PI Joe Killan finds, as he searches for an ancient cross of gold and precious jewels, a search that leaves five men dead and Killan caught in a crossfire between modern Muslim extremism and old-fashioned American greed.

A unique blend of unsettling fact and exciting fiction, The Crux Ansata is a fresh take on the detective genre - noir fiction with a modern attitude.

It's a smart and sexy update to a classic plot, finely tuned for today's readers.
