Northstar: Legacy of the Aesir
The Aesir. Apocryphal kindred of gods from the Nordic Old World worshiped and revered for eons. But, over time, mankind progressed beyond the need for these divine beings’ protections, creating technologies and advancement for humanity that pushed these gods into the mythos of the past, rendering them just a Saga to be shared as a nighttime reassurance. But not all fables are untrue, and not all myths can simply be cast aside.
Special Agent Brad Furison is an accomplished member of the FBI with a talent for bringing the worst criminals to justice. His colleagues in the FBI’s Behavior Analysis Unit call him Northstar, a double entendre to his humble upbringing and ability to lead them when solutions to crimes are uncertain. After Brad’s confidence is shaken by a devastating personal tragedy, a horrendous new crime comes to light, with an unforeseen connection to Brad and his family. Now, Brad must take on an adversary who might be as gifted at evil as Brad is at delivering justice. Forced to work with a new partner and discover factors in the world he never expected to encounter, Brad must reconcile his legacy while endeavoring to solve the murder of someone he never knew he loved.

Northstar: The Legacy of the Aesir bring two genres together in an interesting and riveting book: FBI police procedural and fantasy. Read the first 30 pages carefully. I didn’t pay enough attention the first time so did re-read them. Ha! They provide the background you need for the rest of the story. The quotes preceding each chapter point the reader to the chapter’s theme. Read them. The characters are developed well and the descriptive nature of locations puts the reader clearly into Bel Air, Malibu and the rest of Southern California. The author uses both intellect and action to solve the mystery. This is not just another “junk” mystery. It’s written at a higher level.
