The White Flamingo: The story of a Serial Killer in South East Asia
FUN CITY is run by corrupt officials and respectable gangsters wallowing in luxury mansions in the hills high above the harbour, the beach, and the neon jungle.
Vice worker TAMMY is found mutilated on top of a pool table, an effete pervert, and son to the 1970's pin-up beauty queen once known as THE WHITE FLAMINGO, is locked up.
Can Detective JOE DYLAN find THE KILLER before he becomes one of the hunted?
THE WHITE FLAMINGO is a break-neck neo-noir crime thriller from beak to tail feather. This novel, third in the Joe Dylan , has been optioned for adaptation into a feature film.
This is the third in the Joe Dylan Crime Noir detective series.
WORDS ABOUT THE JOE DYLAN SERIES:
"NEWMAN JOINS more established writers such as Christopher G. Moore and John Burdett in an exploration of the garish netherworld of private eyes, prostitutes, pimps, gangsters, cops and dirty tricks."
- Chiang Mai City News.
"JAMES NEWMAN writes with a flamethrower. He's terrifically gifted, enormously energetic, and in THE WHITE FLAMINGO he builds up, layer by layer, like lacquer, the everyday reality of "Fun City" -- a/k/a Pattaya -- with such intensity that he creates a nightmare town so terrible that even the advent of a modern-day Jack the Ripper can only make it a tiny bit worse. Newman has serious talent, if he reminds me of any author it is early Ken Breen."
-Edgar and Shamus nominee Timothy Hallinan
"AN UNDERGROUND rocker himself, James Newman understands that similarity and leaves plenty of original fingerprints all over this hardboiled mystery. [,,,] Newman’s specialty is hard-hitting, brass-knuckles prose that works well in the crime fiction genre. [...] The author also excels in succinct, smartly written characterizations. [...] Newman has added a sharp, poisoned arrow to the quiver of neo-noir."
- Jim Algie - Author of Bizarre Thailand
"A WORLD where most of the humans are behaving like primitive bugs and reptiles, just wandering around eating whatever they can whenever it is available and trying to have as much sex as possible before they die."
- Bangkok Noir Artist Chris Coles
