Let's write a novel - you can help
 
 

Max provides the text - subscribers are invited to contribute comments, ideas, and suggestions as we proceed.

What's it about? Max has an outline in his head, but details are fuzzy and will come into focus as we go.

Title - currently the new novel is untitled - suggestions are invited.

The novel is the fourth in the Bismark Pacheco series - the others:

1. Murder At the CAT
2. Cielito Lindo (with Wilson Abut - rhymes with a shoe)
3. Luz Stella's Tale (with Abut)

To read and/or participate in the new novel, it would be better if you have read these works, mainly because you would then know Pacheco and Luz Stella, but it is not a requirement. It's possible that in the new novel we will learn of the long-rumored Pacheco's 5th law for living.

The first four:

Pacheco's First Law - Always put your trust in one who can make a good cup of coffee.
Paceco's Second Law - All are guilty until proved innocent.
Pacheco's Third Law - Never allow yourself to be photographed with an avocado in your mouth.
Pacheco's Fourth Law - Always check your mouthpiece for prussic acid.

Chapter One

              Pacheco and Luz Stella were alone in the hot bubbling tub, only their heads above water.The recent bullet wounds were plugged with scar tissue but the pain lingered, especially in the shoulder. They sat on the upper deck, level eight, of the Marco Polo Cruise ship currently transiting the 50-mile long Kiel Canal which sliced through the flat dairy country of Germany’s northernmost province, Schleswig Holstein, connecting the fresh water Baltic Sea with the very salty North Sea.
