Reseña del libro "Easing Into the Night (en Inglés)"
This is a story of friendship, an unlikely one that develops between a cantankerous old detective, Archie, and an immortal, Bob. Their meeting allows Archie into Bob's world in a way he can't deny, experiencing for himself a mystic ritual he wasn't sure of and realizing how close he came to missing something in his personal life that would have devastated him later. Bob is trapped in a 90-year-old body, his immortality a curse by a powerful Shaman due to an indiscretion involving someone in his inner circle. Part of it was a cryptic demand, he was to, "Ease them into the night where they will go and be what they are." He would find women left alone in their waning years and help them enjoy their last days on earth. At death, he would hold their hand and talk them through it, history scattered with his easings, his immortality dependent on them. Bob is involved in a 911 call when the latest of his wives dies at the local hospital and his ritual misinterpreted. Archie is the large, old detective assigned to his case. He's been soured by life and computers, his gruff demeanor and caustic language a part of him he isn't aware of, his personality alienating everyone. Friendless, he's surprised when he takes a liking to Bob. A Google search reveals a discrepancy in Bob's age as Archie follows a trail of buried wives back through time thinking he'd found a serial killer, going back so far it defied reality. His interest was piqued, and an interview arranged. "Immortal" envisions wonders and stimulates our curiosity, the reality a shadow of what we imagined as our detective learns along with valuable life lessons. Though there is a fascination with this mythical creature, Archie's only concern is if what he's doing is a crime. Just the facts are what Archie has lived by his whole career as a detective, and immortality wasn't a factor on his justice scale. This is an urban fantasy, detective, romance novel about true love without boundaries. Enjoy!
