Karl Marx Private Eye

by Jim Feast PM Press 4/25/2023, paperback SKU: 9781629639932   A rattling good yarn and a suspenseful whodunit, against the backdrop of real historical events, that brings sixteen-year-old Sherlock Holmes together with Karl Marx and his brilliant daughter Eleanor to solve a cascading series of murders at a Bohemian spa.  Karl Marx Private Eye is a page-turner filled with tricky clues, colorful detectives, and an "exotic" setting. Written in a brilliant parody of Arthur Conan Doyle, this cozy historical mystery will keep readers guessing until its shocking final pages. Reviews: "Feast writes with a poet's pen, a humorist's wit, and a Dashiell Hammett knack for detective fiction. When a series of dastardly crimes are committed amidst Bohemia's health spas for the rich, you don't need a Hercule Poirot when you have the improbable team of Karl Marx and a teenage Sherlock Holmes on the case. Luscious writing that evokes the politics and culture of the era." -- Peter Werbe, author of Summe
