In a Flash by William Mangieri

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Jimmy was a good cop, but age and changing times were getting the better of him. If he could only get an edge, take advantage of some of that new-fangled tech – what would be the harm? I mean, everybody cheats a little, don’t they? Just be careful not to get caught… Read “In a Flash” to see how Jimmy gets himself out of trouble.
“In a Flash” is a sci-fi/crime short story, the first in the Detective Jimmy Delaney series (and it’s FREE.) If you like a little self-deprecation and humor with some sci-fi elements thrown in (think “The Rockford Files” mashed up with the old BBC “The Avengers”) this is the series for you.

Targeted Age Group:: 16+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
An associate mentioned how he wished he could just plug a flash drive into his brain and acquire skills, instead of having to spend years studying. I wondered about the convenience, and the mind-hacking dangers, and "In a Flash" was born (And Jimmy Delaney liked the gig and kept finding other ways to get in trouble.)

Aging WWII super solider Major Victory is being blackmailed. The Major’s granddaughter, the apple of his eye, is an unwitting star of a sex tape.

Jack takes the job.
But when Jack starts digging into the case things turn deadly. There is an explosion downtown that levels a concrete building and kills a young superhero. it was no accident. Someone planted a bomb. The grand daughter insists the bomb was really meant her and not her best friend.
That same friend shows up in Jack’s office hours after the explosion, claiming she was the target all along. She demands that Jack find out who’s responsible before disappearing into the night.
Can Jack find who is behind the blackmail and the bombing before others die? Can Jack survive telling his client?
Sometimes being a detective in a city full of superheroes can be Hell.
