There is a darkness far worse than the night.
Bumper City
Detective Alton Cold Mystery Series Book 1
by Alan McGill
Genre
Futuristic Mystery Thriller
In the future, Las Vegas is nearly destroyed. Rebuilt under a dark cloud that blocks all sunlight, Sin City takes on a whole new meaning.
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Bumper City?
Well, Alton Cold is loosely based on my experience as a private investigator. But he’s turned into much more than that. In the opening chapter we learn he’s still in love with his first love. Although they didn’t stay together, he couldn’t really get over her. He is a bit of drinker, although I wouldn’t say he’s an alcoholic. He hates authority and despises most of the supervisors and attorney’s he’d worked with over the years. Alton is loyal and kind, but he’s no fool. While he never killed while on the force, he shows he was always willing to for the right cause. He’s well-liked by honest cops but hated by corrupt supervisors and politicians. He’s respected by criminals and those he’s arrested. They may not like him, but they know he’s not corrupted, and it was never personal.
Mara Torres was Alton’s first and only true love. She is a mutant in Bumper City which means she has some enhanced abilities such as hearing and being able to see in the dark. She is petite and very beautiful with a strong sense of purpose. She’s not an angel, but she’s not pure evil either.
Nevaeh. She is a young college graduate who was raised by her aunt in Bumper City. She left after college to pursue a job in San Franscico. She hires Alton to find her missing aunt.
Penny. Alton’s secretary. A beautiful blonde who likes to have fun. She’s sassy and flirty. While she dresses well, her sense of humor could make a longshoreman blush. She is very political and helps Alton with his cases. She loves Alton but they have never been romantic. It’s a flirty but plutonic relationship.
Bessimer. Alton’s artificial intelligence car. He’s charming and loyal to Alton. He’s quick witted but young and appears to be learning as he gains more experience.
New Vegas Police Detective John Rollins. A no-nonsense homicide sergeant. He’s been on the force a long time but not quite ready to retire. It’s hard to say if Rollins has been corrupted. He takes solving murders very seriously, but his true loyalties have not yet been revealed.
Twilas Burke. The main villain. The antagonist of the story. He’s a tech giant. The richest man in the world and Alton’s nemesis. He’s virtually untouchable unless you are willing to commit murder. Few really know his true nature and his plans are far more sinister than anyone realizes.
If I say anymore there will be spoilers, so I’ll stop right there.

Alan McGill is an American author who lives in Northwestern Pennsylvania with a clowder of cats. Alan was close to his grandparents who grew up in the Great Depression.
They were married young and remained together until his grandmother’s passing. His grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and was a gifted storyteller who weaved humorous tales about tough events.
Alan grew up with these stories of right and wrong along with watching fictional heroes such as The Lone Ranger, Adam West’s Batman and Captain America. Heroes who stood up to bullies and protected those who could not protect themselves. This made an impression on the author to always do what was right in his own life and shaped his love for storytelling.
He is a multi-genre author with his debut novel being A Cry in the Moon’s Light which is a horror romance and mystery series. As with all his books, one of the primary themes involves characters who strive to do the right thing regardless of the adversity they face. The second theme present in all his books is love. A pure and deep love that defeats all evil.
