Flytrap: an Iz Landry Novel

by Benny Sperling

Flytrap finds Isaiah “Iz” Landry all grown up. No longer living in LA with his mother, the famed director from “Remembering the Dame.” He takes on a new adventure of being a parent in New York. Working as a fixer for a high powered law firm gives him access to all sorts of colorful characters as well as put him in a heap of trouble with others.

Can he find the songstress whose Jazz stylings of the Fifties may be part of a spy plot? Will he be able to help the distressed wife of a mafia banker? Oh and let’s not forget the murder for hire plot of a financial guru that’s been covered up by City Hall!

Join Iz as he prowls the streets looking to help the less fortunate, find a missing person, and fight for social justice. Meanwhile the crew in LA of Thea and Evie are back to spotlight under appreciated people and their social impact. There is also a daring escape by a coma victim who wants her life back after thirty-odd years and will do anything to get it.

Flytrap tackles tough subjects like fatherhood and learning to love a city you’ve moved to after leaving your hometown behind. It also looks at life from the perspective of one who lost theirs but found a new one.

Injustice will be fought. New lives will be crafted. Twists, turns, and reinvention are on display in this new tale of Century Noir!
