From the Publisher
A small press mystery by a little known author rarely attracts attention, but THE FRACTAL MURDERS has generated tremendous interest, not only in the literary community, but also in the mathematical and scientific communities. Cohen's ability to weave mathematical concepts into in an easy to understand manner is incredible. Cohen's writing is exceptionally clear and his humor is first-rate. Cohen may be the next Robert B. Parker, and the Pepper Keane mysteries may be the next generation's answer to Parker's Spenser novels.
From the Inside Flap
A brutal rape and murder. A robbery and bullet to the head. An apparent suicide. Three victims, three different states, and three apparently unrelated cases. But when Boulder math professor Jayne Smyers discovers each victim had been researching the geometric shapes know as fractals, she knows it was not coincidence.
After federal agents fail to link the deaths, Jayne hires Nederland private eye Pepper Keane - former JAG with a Diet CokeŽ addiction, an encyclopedic knowledge of rock'n roll, and a trace of existential angst. As Pepper tenaciously follows leads, the suspects multiply.
Follow Pepper Keane in a fast-paced adventure that traverses mathematics, economics, and philosophy. Sometimes violent, sometimes hilarious, The Fractal Murders is an original mystery with an ending that sneaks up from behind and grabs you by the throat.
