Fable Land

By Mark Zahn and Bill Hall

In the world of hard-boiled detective fiction, two names are preeminent: Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. The fathers of the hard-boiled drama by which all others are measured - their characters gave rise to the advent of noir film, featuring the cynicism, fatalism and moral ambiguity so prevalent to that genre. Their tales solicited themes from the darker side of life, leaving behind a new perspective on modern society.Enter now Bill Hall and Mark Zahn, two admirers of these writers as well as the film noir world. Together, they have formed a partnership to create their own detectives who face the same obstacles of Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe...but with a twist. In their new outstanding novel FABLE LAND, the reader is introduced to Frank Caselle and Regal Brewster, two world-weary gumshoes from the 1940's; well aware of the dreary universe around them and the methods needed to navigate through it. The intrigue begins with two seemingly routine cases of disappearance - the sort both have investigated countless times before - yet which unfolds in the most mysterious fashion imaginable.In a fast paced race against time, readers are led through the dingy backdrop of old world Hollywood. Not the glamour of the Golden Age, but instead the underbelly of an industry that preys on the hopes and gilded dreams of the young and unsuspecting.Yet in the end, the sordid side of Hollywood is only the beginning of an adventure that neither detective could begin to imagine...For the reader, a trip to FABLE LAND is a journey not soon forgotten, and the twisted conclusion will keep you turning the pages long into the night!
