Crimetime

Blurb2

A chocoholic, kickboxing, woodcarving, head turner; homicide detective SJ Tuazon is as tough as they come. Fres-Felix’s heroine breaks bones as much as gender barriers as she navigates thru the horrific traffic and crime infested back alleys of the city—Kyusi—she calls home. Here, crime is a way of life and life hangs by a thread.

It’s high time that crime-fic be put at center stage of Philippine letters. Here, a compendium of well-written Sherlock Holmesque stories, set at our bustling Metro where milieu and characters extol authenticity, is a fine example of where we should commence in this rarely trod sub-genre of fiction. This book is a pleasure to read. Or, if I may ask Fres-Felix, as verbalized by Police Inspector S. J. Tuazon, “And you’re telling us all of this only now?” Really, why only now? The pleasure could have been read way earlier.
