Zach Howard understands his world perfectly. The souvlaki on his block in Astoria, Queens, is delicious. His brother Roger is God's gift to man. And the mystery novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dame Agatha Christie are Zach's primary professional inspirations. Soon he'll author a masterpiece himself, if everything goes right. But when he comes into possession of a 1921 Mercury dime, he discovers it has powers beyond his-and everyone else's-imagination. Thankfully, his gracious neighbor Julie Fields comes to help solve the riddle of all the dime reveals. A cold case chase like no other ensues, fueled by plentiful meals for the gastronome Zach, while taking readers to 1920s Chicago, Philadelphia for the 1929 World Series, Brooklyn at the time of the Great Depression, and a Long Island elder care facility where a horrific misdeed went unpunished in the 1980s. FLYING ON THE WINGS OF MERCURY is a satisfying journey of imagination, mystery and humor.
