MELBOURNE, FL — Independent author G.W. Pomichter is pleased to announce his newest book, “Lot 28” set for release on July 29, 2015.
“Lot 28” is a sequel to Pomichter’s homage to classic noir, “Lucky,” which has soared to success since its June 2014 release. “Lucky” has sat in Amazon’s top 100 several times during 2014/15, and has gathered a significant social media following.
“Lot 28” follows Pomichter’s William Lucky Marks character on another murder mystery case, this time set in 1950’s Hollywood.
G.W. Pomichter describes the novella as a look at the more classic mystery “who-done-it” genre.
“It is always fun to write a story with such amazing roots in modern literature,” Pomichter said. “When we first read ‘Lucky,’ we are taken on a very nostalgic journey into the darker noir fiction of the 1930s and 40s. With ‘Lot 28,’ I really wanted to have a bit of fun with the “who-done-it” style familiar from ‘Clue’ or ‘And Then There Were None.’”
Pomichter summarizes the story, writing:
“In the summer of 1953, Private Investigator, Will “Lucky” Marks, was working as the in-house private eye for Arcane Pacific Pictures. That’s the summer when famed director Allister Walters was brutally stabbed to death on the scene of his last blockbuster hit mystery, the 1953 noir cult classic, “Witness to the Act.” Lucky is on the scene, and is pulled into this deliciously, deceitful drama of Hollywood film-making. Trapped inside the studio with the killer, Lucky must sort through arcane stereotypes, and challenge common perceptions of the time, as well as his own prejudices in order to sort through the gossip, innuendo and intrigue, to find the killer before time runs out. This movie murder mystery will pit Lucky against some of the most deceitful creatures on earth: movie stars.”
Pomichter claims that “Lot 28” was written to stand alone as its own story, but that fans and readers of “Lucky” will still get enough to demonstrate the connection between the two books.
“In this story, we get to see that Lucky suffers some consequences of the first book,” Pomichter said. “He isn’t as prepared as he should be for this case, because of his impatience in the first story. It means it takes a bit longer for him to fit the pieces together. Of course we also reference characters from book one, and some of our visual descriptions are meant to evoke images from the first as well. But in all, set as a different kind of story on the precipice of a different era, ‘Lot28’ stands by itself.”
“Lot 28” will be released in both e-book and in paperback at online book stores: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple’s popular iBooks, Kobo, Scrib’d and GooglePlay on July 29, 2015.
G.W. Pomichter will debut the book in paperback at the 2015 Indie Book Fest from July 31 thru August 2 at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida. For more information about Indie Book Fest, visit http://www.indiebookfestcon.com on the internet.
