A Kestrel Circles
A Kestrel Circles is a story about a detective as opposed to a detective story. The protagonist, Mathew Brown, AKA Augustus De Marco Cervantes, is a detective who claims he can find anything. This is an odd statement from an odd character but seems to be true.
He has a penchant for staring off into space. What he is staring at is very complex and very simple at the same time. He calls it “the canvas.” The canvas is not definable. It is something that he can tap into that is filled with sensory delights.
At first, the canvas is just a place that Mathew explores for entertainment, but he discovers that it is much more than that. The canvas tells him things, like where his lost phone charger was located. This discovery is the beginning of his career as a detective. His successes at finding lost objects result in many clients wanting his skills. He is much in demand.
This novel contains limited violence and is aimed at an adult audience.
