The Golden Luger
(2026)(The first book in the Curtis Blaine Investigations series)
A novel by Christopher Bolsover
Curtis Blaine is a private detective with a quiet life — but not for long.
Eight blonde, blue-eyed children have vanished without a trace. The police task force is out
of leads and out of options. They need Curtis back — his expertise in paedophilia and human
trafficking is their last hope.
At the same time, the wife of a powerful defence industry magnate has disappeared, taking a
cache of highly sensitive secrets with her. Curtis is hired to find her. Fast.
Closer to home, his father — slipping deeper into dementia — is convinced the Nazis are
after him. They want blue diamonds, he insists. Diamonds he smuggled out of World War II.
Then someone puts a bullet in Curtis's head. He survives — but his memory of the attack is gone. What he's gained instead is stranger: razor-sharp intuition, heightened senses, and an uncanny ability to see what others miss.
Oh, and his wife has left him. Cleaned out his bank account on the way out the door.
Three impossible cases. One man holding it all together — just barely.
Genre: Mystery
