Janet Roger
Shamus Dust: Hard Winter, Cold War, Cool Murder.
With a film-noir mystery in the Raymond Chandler style, the INCAs welcome Janet Roger to the group, with
Shamus Dust.
Two candles flaring at a Christmas crib. A nurse who steps inside a church to light them. A bullet in a man's head in the creaking stillness before dawn, that the nurse says she didn't hear. It's 1947 in the snowbound, war-scarred City of London, where Pandora's Box just opened in the ruins, City Police have a vice killing on their hands. A spooked
councillor hires a shamus to help spare his blushes. Like the Buddha says, everything is connected, so it all can be explained. But that s a little cryptic when you happen to be the shamus, and you're standing over a corpse.
