“.
. . Ian Hahn: Olfactory Empath is definitely a recommended read, and
kudos to Johnny Ostentatious on a triumphant first work.”
—Wonka Vision 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!)”
—Maximum Rocknroll
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.
