A Leroy Powder novel
Michael Z. Lewin is the award-winning author of many mystery
novels and short stories. Most have been set in and around
Indianapolis, Indiana, where he grew up. Albert Samson is a low-key
private eye and the stories focus on humane understanding of the
cases and problems Samson encounters. Leroy Powder is an irascible
Indy police lieutenant who truly wants his colleagues to become
better cops. They're bound to be grateful, right? Both central
characters have an abiding wish to see justice done. One of the
features of the series novels, and some stand-alones, is that that
main characters from one book often appear in lesser roles in other
books.
Since 1971 Mike has lived in the West of England, currently in Bath
where his city-centre flat overlooks the nearby hills. Both his
children have made careers in the arts. Masses more information and
silly stuff is available on www.MichaelZLewin.com.
In the several days during which Mr. Lewin allows us to share his
long waking hours, Leroy Powder becomes exhilaratingly alive
