SHERLOCK HOLMES - CONSULTING DETECTIVE Vol 8

SHERLOCK HOLMES VS ANCIENT EVILS

Airship 27 Productions is proud to announce the release of volume eight in their best selling series, SHERLOCK HOLMES – CONSULTING DETECTIVE.  All previous seven volumes have climbed to the top of Amazon’s mystery anthology ranks.

During their colorful careers battling crime and villainy, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson encountered the most bizarre mysteries.  In this latest volume, they set out to solve three of the most unique puzzles ever put before them.

“Ever since we started this series, our readers have clamored for more,” says Airship 27 Productions’ managing editor, Ron Fortier.  “Folks just can’t get enough of Holmes and Watson and their appeal never wanes.  This particular collection has a genuine horror theme that runs throughout the two shorts and one novella.  They are tales best read on a dark and lonely night.”

Two bodies are unearthed during the excavations beneath and old church and Holmes soon determines both are the victims of foul play; one recently and other well over a hundred years ago.  Meanwhile a retired Vice Admirable is found slain in his locked quarters leaving Holmes to solve a classic puzzle of not only “who” but also “how.”

And finally, when bodies begin surfacing all over London with their blood completely drained, the famous Consulting Detective and his loyal assistance face the possibility that a legendary monster is roaming fog-shrouded streets of their beloved London.

Writers I.A. Watson, Raymond Lovato and Aaron Smith put forth a trio of classic Conan Doyle like mysteries pitting the Great Detective against the most menacing of evils both modern and ancient.  Pulp Factory Award nominated artist Zachary Brunner provides the dramatic cover while Airship 27 Art Director Rob Davis the beautiful black and white interior illustrations.  Davis is considered the new Sydney Paget and his Holmes artwork highly valued amongst fans of the Great Detective.  Thus once more the police bobby’s whistle shrieks and the game is afoot!

THE CLAY SHAMUS

Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to be presenting the newest occult mystery series from popular New Pulp author Michael Panush.

Sickle City is a magnet for the bizarre and unholy.  When a legion of dead Roman soldiers converges on the modern metropolis, its salvation will lie in the hands of three unique warriors employed by Herman Holtz, a corrupt, bootlegging Jewish rabbi. 

Emmet Clay is a golem built by Holtz’ older brother, a powerful Russian rabbi.  As Holtz’ chief enforcer, he disguises himself as a detective.  His two loyal allies are the beautiful and fiery Zipporah Sarfati, a deadly Sephardic swordswoman and the young Harvey Holtz, the rabbi’s son; a devoted student of Jewish mysticism.  Together the three of them must uncover the secret of the Dagger Men, a secret society of Jewish warriors that traces its origins back to the bloody destruction of Judea.

“Michael Panush is one of the most exciting voices in New Pulp today,” reports Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor Ron Fortier.  “For the past few years he has thrilled pulp readers with several amazing series unlike anything else on the market.  I first became aware of his work with his post World War II detectives, Stein & Candle. Then a little while later he debut El Mosaico, a quintessential weird western that transplants a Frankenstein style monster into the old Wild West.  Michael brilliantly infuses Jewish mysticism and history in his tales which make them truly unique and memorable.”

Now this same writer offers up a terrific, fast paced supernatural thriller filled with some of the most original, fanciful characters ever imagined.  Cover and interior illustrations are provided by Pulp Factory Award Nominee Zacharry Brunner and Airship 27 Art Director Rob Davis handles book design.  “The Dagger Men” is roller-coaster pulp ride that doesn’t slow down until the very last page!

RUTHERFORD JONES – PRIVATE EYE

Airship 27 Productions is proud to present the newest pulp private eye in Robert Ricci’s Rutherford Jones.

The year is 1937 and the Ford Jones Detective Agency operates from a small second story office in Oakland, CA.  Jones is a mousy, little man whose clothes are always a size too big.  His assistant is a tall, muscular black man named Rufus. All of which is a sham used to trick white clients.  Rufus is in fact the real Rutherford Jones, aka Ford Jones. Aware that his skin color would impede his chosen career, he convinces his young, alcoholic friend, Jimmy Bottles McGee, to pose as Ford Jones. The ruse leads to all manners of complications for the pair.

“The concept of this character and his having to conceal is identity appealed to me immediately,” recounts Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor Ron Fortier.  “Both racism and sexism were so prevalent during this time in our history; one has to believe this kind of subterfuge happened quite often.  We know that many black writers and women often kept their true identities secret to find acceptance among editors and publishers.  So why not a private investigator like Rutherford Jones?”

In this trio of stories Jones and McGee solve strange occurrences at a northern mine, deal with a power struggle within the Chinese community and assist a singing cowboy solidify his role as a new cinema star while running into a classic female pulp avenger along the way.  The stark, beautiful interior illustrations are by newcomer, Andrew Ritchie; this being his first assignment for Airship 27 and stunning cover is by the ever popular Patricio Carbajal; a real fan favorite.  Art Director Rob Davis, as ever, provides the overall design to wonderfully showcase this new action mystery series.

To be sure, Robert Ricci has created a truly original pulp hero who, like his predecessors, uses both his fists and know-how to serve the cause of justice.  Don’t miss this, his slam-bang New Pulp debut!
