So proud of our Mom, Arlene Rubens Balin, who joins other octogenarian writers with the release of The Shimmering Face of Evil, A Max Hamilton Mystery, her third novel and second in a series. Who says you can’t write novels after 80? Shimmering is being included in this week's New York Times Book Review-Summer Debuts:
Set in 1938, Inspector Max Hamilton is a country policeman from the Midlands of England who accepts a position with Scotland Yard in London and soon finds himself in the center of London's upper class social milieu. The murder of a beautiful adventuress sets in motion a tale of treachery and intrigue. Inspector Hamilton is charged with uncovering those who have been corrupted by the shimmering face of evil.
