Sinopsis

Miles Landry is trying to put violence behind him when heátakes up work as a private detective focused on humdrum adultery cases. Butáwhen a Tibetan monkáhires him to find a missing person, things get weirdáfast. Charged with tracking down the reincarnation of a man possessed by a demonicáguardian from theáTibetan Book of the Dead, Miles is plunged into a world ofáfortune-tellers, gangsters, and tantric rituals. The year is 1991 and a series of grisly murders hasárocked New York City in the runáup to a visit from the Dalai Lama. The policeáattribute the killings to Chinatown gang warfare. Miles-skeptical of theásupernatural-is inclined to agree. Butáwhat if the monster heâÇÖs hunting isámore than a myth?Proudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing-Tales from the Darkest Depths.Interview with the author:What makes this Horror/Noir novel so special?IâÇÖve always been attracted to mashups of my favorite genres. I think what makesáThe Wind In My Heartáspecial is that it takes the best of both worlds from crime novels and horror thrillers and adds a dash of the supernatural with a Tibetan twist. IâÇÖd like to think itâÇÖs a unique cocktail.áTell us more about your lead character.Miles Landry is a private detective with a short fuse and a black sense of humor. HeâÇÖs suffered some personal losses that have left him pretty hardened. HeâÇÖs a pragmatic ex-military man who views the world with a skeptical eye. But he also tries to keep an open mind when his clients have an open wallet. So itâÇÖs interesting to see what happens when a group of Buddhist monks hires him to solve a supernatural mystery. His world view is bound to clash with theirs, but he may learn something along the way.Why should readers give this book or your work a try?So much of supernatural horror and thriller fiction is based on Judeo-Christian premises. I wanted to explore a different perspective on gods, demons, and the afterlife, and to contrast that with a very American setting. The result is a violent, urban occult thriller with the voice of a classic noir. ItâÇÖs a quick, entertaining read with some deep philosophical roots that have interested me for decades.á
