Green Hornet Casefiles

I’m very pleased with my short story, “Soldanus, the Sultan of Crime,” in the all-original Green Hornet Casefiles anthology from Moonstone. What’s cool is the stories are much more in the crime genre than the costumed hero mold. Set in late ’60s-early ’70s Detroit, the characters are based on the Hornet and Kato from the short-lived but beloved TV series. In my tale, there are also influences from those Motor City-based mystery and crime novels Elmore Leonard and Loren Estlemen wrote, with an opening riffing on the Blaxploitation caper flick Detroit 9000 — muscle cars roaring along icy streets, shady pols and their machinations and kung fu action. Does it get any better?
