Synopsis:

Three acerbic noir novels: an unconventional private eye novel, a murder mystery set in a small Midwestern town, and the story of a writer who falls in love with a troubled young lesbian.

About the Author: Fletcher Flora was born in Parsons, Kansas, in 1914, and educated at the University of Kansas. He married Betty Ogden in 1940 and they had three children. After being drafted into the Army during World War II—serving as a sergeant in the Far East and sustaining severe injuries—Flora was appointed an educational adviser to the Dept. of the Army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he taught military prisoners until 1963. A liberal Democrat, Flora began his writing career in 1952 with a series of sardonic short stories, and wrote his first novel in 1954 called Strange Sisters, a lesbian-themed story of mental breakdown. This was the first of 21 character-driven, off-beat novels, including three “Ellery Queen” mysteries, in addition to over 150 published short stories. Flora passed away from a heart attack in 1969.
