: Help !

This IS NOT a Mike Hammer adventure neither am I Mickey Spillane. (I wish I had his money but I look more handsome anyway) It's an Isidore Ducasse adventure hard-boiled with plenty of action like Mike Hammer. AND it's pure plagiarism, legal nevertheless.

Can I write a novel every month? Well it's not impossible if you spend most of your time in front pf a PC screen but in my age, it's tiring. This new one in English is neither a translation nor plagiarism since it's after one of MY books published in Greek under my real name (VAN-gelis DIMI-troglou) under the title DISAPPEARANCE and has sold more than 300 copies which is a bestsellers figure for me who "sells" 15-30 copies average. And this book in Greek received positive comments too!!!!!! So, I have revisited it. Not as to translate it only in English but I have enhanced it with more characters and more action transferring the action to the Isidore Ducasse environment in SW France, in the Greek version the actin is in the island of Crete, Greece and the sleuth's name is Vardas.
It's not a literature chef d'œuvre, it's a pulp fiction novel like the Spillane's ones, macho stuff and violence between the tough smart guy and the imbecile goons with the inevitable femmes fatales playing their part.
50% of today's crime novels concern missing girls and the other 50 concern cold cases. In this one you have them both for the price of one. Why would I change the standards? If they were not popular, they shouldn't have been such hits.
I have added a personal touch in the end though. The book comes with two (2) endings!!!! A Noir one and a Hollywood happy ending one for the sensitive souls.

Still waiting for that "transfer on the silver screen" offer.
