Get ready for Harrell Glenn Crowson’s newest work: Mike and Angie’s Cafe. This book is a collection of pulp fiction stories reflecting the distinctive way of life and death in California’s southeastern desert. Each tale begins, ends, or shares a short visit at the unique diner that served as the grease-filled center of the universe for Brawley, a small agricultural community tucked away between farms and open desert. Life was not complete unless you were exposed to the strange, philosophical banter of the colorful owners.
Eventually, the characters of this fictional book cross the threshold of Mike & Angie’s Cafe. Crime, love, religion, virtues, politics, and growing up is chronicled in these short narratives that take the reader from Winterhaven to Anza Valley – from Desert Hot Springs to Jacumba. Life is different for police, lawyers, newspaper reporters, criminals, victims and suspects as they try to manipulate the tangled conduit of right and wrong.
Crowson takes the reader to common locations for un-common adventures. Do not be surprised to recognize a little bit of yourself and past acquaintances as these tales of life, crime, family, humor, and murder resonate within your mind.
This is Crowson’s first novel after successfully publishing his bestselling non-fiction book Almost Eleven – The Murder of Brenda Sue Sayers. The author’s law enforcement background and life experience in the Imperial Valley and Riverside County provides personal experience for telling these unusual yarns. Mike & Angie’s Cafe should be available in 2017.
