Description:Gumshoe Mania is about a woman whose unfulfilled ambition was once to become a gumshoe – a sleuth in common parlance – snoop after suspects, nab culprits, and live a life of endless excitement. Fortuitously, in her middle years, she finds herself in a situation that prompts her to pursue the vocation of her dreams. Where does her lust for adventure take her and what life-changing encounters is she destined to face? The story cuts across geographical boundaries, from the plains of north India, leaping across the Pacific to the Hawaiian Islands, homing back to the beginning, presenting different facets of human relationships and individual choices.Testimonials:In Gumshoe Mania, Manju Jaidka – distinguished creative writerand literary scholar, learned and imaginative, deeply immersed intraditional Indian culture and a dedicated internationalist – haswritten a compelling story of a loving mother’s quest for a “lostson” who, somewhat mysteriously, has abandoned her. Instead ofmourning helplessly, the heroine, Reema, abandons academic life,teaches herself to become a professional, detective in the traditionof Sherlock Holmes, and launches an exciting, psychological, andmytho-spiritual search for the beloved child. No theme in worldliterature could be more compelling, and Manju Jaidka fulfilsthe archetypal promise of her ingenious premise: a synthesis ofcompelling detective fiction in the style of Agatha Christie and theuniversal profundity of the mother-child bond. Sam Spade (MalteseFalcon) meets Gustav Jung’s “Great Mother”.Gumshoe Mania is moving and entertaining. What more can weask of a novel?Howard R.
