Ian Hahn: The Olfactory Empath

by

Johnny Ostentatious

The Place: Philadelphia

The Time: Present day

The Crime: Cell phones exploding randomly, killing innocent citizens

With six Philadelphians dead, the mayor’s office approaches Ian Hahn, a 22-year-old private detective who is an olfactory empath (his sense of smell identifies a person’s main character trait or current overwhelming emotion). The cell-phone case takes Ian throughout the City of Brotherly Love, from the badlands of North Philly to the inner recesses of Chinatown. Along the way, Ian runs into his high-school sweetheart, her older brother—a former mentor of Ian’s—and a Philly mob boss who knows more than he’s telling.

“[Ostentatious is] an engaging, funny writer.”

“Brace yourself for a unique read.”

—Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine

“The action/detective [novel] is really entertaining. It’s well written, fast-paced, and, for a first novel, has very good character development. (Heck, compared to some of the mass-market thrillers I read, it has exemplary character development!)”

“Dude . . . this is a GREAT book. You’re a genius, right?”
