Keppan by Jayne Zehngut and Cynthia Salasovich

 For those who enjoy good reading, I highly recommend this. It is the first book written by these authors and it is handled well.


It is set in the art world. The story begins with the death of an well known Japanese  artist by his car going over the side of the hill n Topanga Canyon.. Was it murder or was it an accident?  

It is a case for Hercuree Lewis and Toni Nicholas, Yes. It is a female protagonist; both LAPD detectives. Art forgery  and murder form the crime. The case moves from Los Angeles to Japan and back.

Great research was required to get all the details of the art world. and Japanese culture in order to make this story read authentic. 

It seems the  art work was authenticated  by an ink made of the artists blood in the signature area. This made sure the artists DNA was there. As you knw, DNA is not transferable.

For those of us who know mystery writing we know there must be a victim , a killer, and a detective or someone who can bring the killer to justice. These ladies have a grasp of that formula.

It is suspenseful and detailed. It is an easy read. It is published by a small Beverly Hills company called Cool Titles. It came out in November/December 2023 so it is current. It can be ordered in paperback from Amazon. I am sure you can get it from Barnes and Noble. Since it has been published recently I am sure it can be seen soon in a local bookstore near you.

Good reading to you all.
