White Coffee

Detective Novel by J. L. Patrick

Overview

"White Coffee" evokes the atmosphere of classic detective fiction, reminiscent of the Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade novels and the smoky, straightforward style of 1940s private eye movies. The narrative is direct yet offers a clever twist that keeps readers engaged.

From crafting 'White Coffee' to developing new stories, my work dives deep into human connections and the stories that shape us.
