Since the much-denied crash at Roswell in 1947 some exotic visiting dignitaries walk among us. What do they want? Are they friendly? That’s to be determined. For now their presence can’t help but to prompt some inexplicable interactions with us. They leave gaping mysteries in their wake, mysteries that fall into the unwary laps of some star-crossed Private Eyes.

Review

'Guaranteed---when you read Michael J. Foy you're in for quite a trip. He's writing very original and exciting fiction!'
-Jordan Rich, Nationally syndicated radio talk show host

You may not be old enough to remember classics like the Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep. But I'll bet you remember Gone Baby Gone. How about Blade Runner? They are all examples of titillating film noir stories expertly adapted to the big screen.It would be a crime if the alluring tale of Brett Kovac, Private Eye doesn't join them in Cinema lore. And that's just the first of three compelling storylines that build on each other in breathless fashion.
-Preston Mathis, Newcastle upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

This trilogy gripped me right from the beginning. I look forward to more tales from this noir world.
-S. King

I was never a fan of conspiracy theories. In fiction, however, when they're appropriately treated in a tongue in cheek way, they can be very entertaining.This trilogy starts with an edge-of-your-seat story about a private detective who specializes in alien abduction. Then the author builds toward a startling conclusion that is good whimsical fun.
-Dr. Garelick, Fermi Labs

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Foy has done it again - great story, great character development
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
When ever I get a notification that Michael Foy has released a book, I order it, and have not been disappointed. This story is fast-paced, taking the reader from Boston to the Emerald Isle on the coattails of a post-World War II private detective in the early 1950's to what could be present day Ireland.
I thought this was just the first book of the trilogy, but it is the entire trilogy, complete and enthralling.
Here's hoping that Mr. Foy continues with stories about Brett Kovac as he has done with Cord Devlin in his other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Explanation of the Inexplicable...
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2021
If you like Private Eyes getting mixed up with extraterrestrials, this Sci Fi book is for you. I was hooked from the first chapter and quickly read through the trilogy to see how Michael Foy cleverly put the pieces together about the alleged 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. Foy spins a yarn that brings the reader back in time to the 1940's when things were simpler and less technology dependent, or were they? This may easily be Foy's best work to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just plain unearthly
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021
If you have connections to the West of Ireland, you may find the setting of the thrilling conclusion to this book familiar. And you may want to revisit your definition of fairies and fairy forts vis a vis aliens. Our heroic Private Investigators are reluctantly pulled more and more into the paranormal realms as they conduct their investigations. Eerie fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little old style pulp fiction crossed with Area 51
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021
Advance reader disclosure: I've always enjoyed Foy's books and this one doesn't disappoint. Being a fan of old noir fiction plus a scifan fan, I love that he blends some hard boiled detective personas, then mix liberally with aliens (and Star Trek on occasion) throw in some time travel with a twist and bang, shaken not stirred, you have the Foy martini.

5.0 out of 5 stars More about Brett Kovac
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021
After a brush with the otherworldly, our hard-boiled detective with a heart, Brett Kovac, wants to get back to solving normal earthbound cases. But as luck would have it, he hasn’t finished with the paranormal. Or is it that the paranormal hasn’t finished with him?

5.0 out of 5 stars Where in the world...or universe...is Brett Kovac?!
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
Where's Brett? Read this trilogy and find out. Lot's of imaginative twists and turns in this creative scifi compilation. It's a good blend of X-Files and Twilight Zone with a twist of noir. I look forward to more stories with these characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roswell Meets Noir will stimulate your imagination!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021
The story has seeds in Roswell, mostly takes place in Greater Boston and culminates in spectacular fashion in a little Irish village. If you like a blend of Film Noir and the X-Files you’re in for a treat with Roswell Meets Noir.
