Quetzal David S Wellhauser

Hipsters, murder, political intrigue, madness, and the Komodo monster.


With the murder of Quetzal, a hipster from a distinguished family, an unnamed Latin American country teeters on the knife edge of revolution. At first, the fractures in the body politic are not apparent. When Detectives Charles Lane and Sancho Korn begin to investigate, however, the murder twists through friendships, family ties, and into the backrooms and sitting rooms of wealth, position, and power.


Enter Dante Skorna, tattoo artist-the young patriarch of a troubled family. Drawn into the mystery, mayhem, and dark dreams of the city sewer system, Komodo, and the monster named after this, Dante searches for his kidnapped sister.


As mysteries, disappearances, and deaths hurtle toward a conclusion in the dank underworld of Komodo, Charles, Sancho, Dante, and a motley cast of hipsters, hangers-on, political aristocracy, and the mad are thrown together.


Meanwhile, the country stumbles ever closer to revolution.


If you are a fan of science fiction, political thrillers, noir, and revolutionary fiction, with dollops of romance and madness thrown in, this is the book for you.


Quetzal is a feast for both lost and damned.
