Purple Wings — Barry Bowe

Philly suburbs, 1970 ... Two mothers report their sixteen-year-old daughters missing. They went out for pizza with their boyfriends the night before, and never returned home. Thus begins the hardest-hitting episode of crime fiction ever published, or scene on the big screen. Police launch a full-scale investigation. This rankles Lew Kaminski because the police thus far refuse to investigate the disappearance of his daughter. He storm into the police station, demands cooperation, and gets some. Two detectives surveil Izabel contacts her parents and Beth's friends, but no one's seen her all week. Lew goes straight to the police, then to the F.B.I., but it's in one door, out the other. With no signs of foul play, and a “missing” individual of legal age, law enforcement refuses to get involved. Thus it falls upon Lew to find his daughter. He snoops around. Learns she recently started dating a member of a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang ... starting experimenting with meth and LSD ... and was last seen leaving the house on the back of a motorcycle. These discoveries send Lew into the belly of the beast ... to find his daughter ... or to find out what happened to her. PURPLE WINGS reads fast, with cutting-edge drama, thrills and chills, and plenty of suspense. It's the second episode of the 21 YEARS epic crime saga. Eighty-eight episodes are on the drawing board.
