Surviving Frank

by David A. Page

Frank was famous for his expert investigative skills, his unorthodox techniques, and the fact that he was a werewolf. Ryan is human, promoted to detective by Internal Affairs. His first assignment is to investigate Frank's methods. Posing as the werewolf's new partner, wrestling with his own guilt and insecurities as a cop and as a spy, he assists Frank in a murder investigation while simultaneously gathering evidence against him. As Ryan and Frank search for answers, they discover that the governor could be the next target in a string of murders. With the politics of Boston hanging in the balance, the partners must tolerate one another long enough to find the killer before he can strike again.

About the author

David Page was born in Boston and spent most of his early years in the New England area. Surrounded old stone walls, revolutionary forts and old Indian Trails, there were stories everywhere he looked. The past fascinated him. At age twelve, after reading Terry Brooks, “The Sword of Shannara” and J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Hobbit, he discovered the budding genre of Fantasy. That same year, he announced to his parents that he was going to be a writer.

A good number of years, and a history degree later, David set off to the west coast in search of life experiences to channel into his writing. His journey was not in vain. In 2003, David’s first novel, “Surviving Frank” was published by Five Star Press. His second novel, "Mithras Court" was published in 2008.

David continues to reside in the Pacific Northwest where he has found inspiration in the ocean, the mountains and the friends and family he has found there.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well fleshed out, and the story held my interest. Now for the sequel.

Enjoyed it! David, the author, and I have chatted a few times about writing and while this book is a bit rough around the edges, the story is and pacing are great. David has a natural talent for storytelling, with the character of Frank being one of, if not the, favorite of his. I enjoyed his second, The Glass Vampire, a bit more, due to it being a smoother read and being based in Seattle, where I'm at. Still, I highly recommend any work from David and look forward to his next publication.

I would probably have liked this when I was 10 - 11. Now, not so much.
