What happens when a hard-boiled detective meets a hard-boiled billionaire? Find out in A Passing Curse by C.R. Trolson. It is so energizing to read Trolson who cares about the written word in a way that is evocative of Hemingway. Some parts of the story are almost poetic and show thoughtfulness and discernment while others are raw.Honestly, I’m unable to identify this novel to a specific genre. Yet, the story is captivating, and relentlessly course its way through the thought processes of a cynical man, past a strong, emotionally guarded woman. The characters are used by a creature having the power to alter their futures.C.R. Trolson lives in Northern California with his wife and have been writing for a number of years. He spent a good deal of time researching aspects of his book such as forensic procedure, both police and archeological, the quacks, scientists, and entrepreneurs that make up the blood business, mission life in Old California, as well as the customs and myths of the Caneleno Indians and the Franciscans.
