Reseña del libro "Hurricane Kingdom: A Starfire Mystery (en Inglés)"

The Hog Ranch near Hillville, Iowa, is a notorious place. All kinds of illegal 'business' prospers there. It's a known hideout for the criminal element, and its proximity to Omaha is a major plus for the goings-on inside - and outside as well. The sturdy old log structure sits along the shoreline of the Missouri River; that mighty waterway flows just steps outside the back door and provides a good place to dispose of dead bodies. Set in the middle of the 1950's, the tale of Hurricane Kingdom - who seems (at first) a minor character in the entire scheme of things - twists and forks along the muddy trails of the riverbank behind the Hog Ranch with its gambling Cellar, gigantic barroom, and a well-populated House on the top floor. The quiet and somewhat dull town of Hillville is nearby but also a world away, exactly as the town and the Ranch both want it to be. Guy LeFevere and Caleb Starfire, the men who shoulder the burdens of the Starfire Detective agency, share the responsibilities of policing the town as well as all of Bogger County with an inept, portly and rather absurd sheriff, Fred Baylor. It's a mixed match-up, but despite all the fuming and fumbling of the dull-witted sheriff, the detectives prevail, and more often than not the criminal element is subdued or eventually rendered harmless - and sometimes actually imprisoned. Frequently, however, the criminals inflict their deadly punishments upon each other. The 1950's shine through the novel and offer a fun-filled romp through Hillville and its environs, creating renewed memories for those who survived that time, and a lesson in human history for those who missed all the fun.
