Meet Lowan, a telepathic alien working as a private detective in the 1930s!

When a mangy-looking flamingo is stolen from the zoo, Lowan is called in to investigate. The trail of clues abruptly ends with a dead man found in an alley. Two other people are hot on the flamingo's trail—a sultry nightclub singer with the personality of a hunting tigress, and a hot-tempered South American military officer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The flamingo holds a secret worth killing for, and the key to a revolution.

S. E. Grosskopf's writing is strongly influenced by the old pulp fiction magazines and Golden Age radio dramas of the 1930s-1950s. If you like fast-paced action and mystery with a dash of urban fantasy and quirkiness, then you'll love these books. This is the fifth book in the series. The books follow chronologically. Reading them in order is recommended.
