George C Chesbro Books Overview

Shadow of a Broken Man

The first novel in the critically acclaimed Mongo mystery series marks the debut of Dr. Robert Frederickson, a.k.a. Mongo the Magnificent, the former circus headliner, black belt karate expert, renowned criminologist and private detective extraordinaire who just happens to be a dwarf.

City of Whispering Stone

Estranged from his brother because of what has been perceived as a betrayal, Mongo must travel to pre revolutionary Iran to heal the damage. There he must survive a deadly cat and mouse game with the dreaded Iranian secret police, the Savak, while incidentally negotiating with the Shah and trying to save his brother from a death trap.

An Affair of Sorcerers

Three apparently separate investigations involving the New York City occult underground of covens, warlocks, tarot readers, faith healers, and palm readers dovetail into a single, explosive climax.

The Beasts of Valhalla

The novel that radically altered the nature of the Mongo series, this book blends a classic detective style with elements of science fiction and fantasy. Chesboro takes readers on a wild roller coaster ride, using the structure and elements of Wagner’s Ring Cycle and Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings.’

Two Songs This Archangel Sings

Mongo and his brother Garth are changed forever, as is their view of the world, because they possess a secret that must never be told. Here the epic adventure continues as the brothers become fugitives and outcasts struggling to solve the puzzle of an extremely dangerous Vietnam veteran with information that could topple the government.

The Cold Smell of Sacred Stone

Garth’s poisoning by a mysterious substance, combined with his experiences related in ‘The Beasts of Valhalla, ‘ changes his personality, causing him to become estranged from Mongo and his family and resulting in tens of thousands of people coming to believe that he is the promised messiah.

The Language of Cannibals

While investigating the death of a friend in a small village in the Hudson River Valley, Mongo must unexpectedly duel with an old enemy as well as a right wing conspiracy.

The Fear in Yesterday’s Rings

Mongo is forced to confront the ghosts of his past. In an attempt to regain control of a traveling circus for his former boss, Mongo becomes embroiled in the hunt for something deadly that many people believe is a werewolf loose on the Great Plains in the heartland of America.

Dark Chant in a Crimson Key

Mongo becomes entangled in an international hunt for ‘the world’s most dangerous terrorist, ‘ whom Mongo comes to discover may not be at all what he appears to be.

An Incident at Bloodtide

Dwarf detective Dr. Robert ‘Mongo’ Frederickson is back in his 11th novel length adventure. Mongo and his brother Garth have a violent run in with a self proclaimed magician who threatens revenge. Ugly pranks begin to disrupt their lives, but when Mongo investigates a horrible death, he finds much more than he bargained for.

Bleeding in the Eye of a Brainstorm

Veteran of thirteen previous mysteries, the dwarf detective, martial arts expert, former circus performer, and expert criminologist known as Mongo the Magnificent goes on the trail of a drug maker whose miracle cures mask an evil intent.

Chant

‘Not quite science fiction and suspense make a thrilling combination, and nobody works it better than Chesbro…
Raymond Chandler meets Stephen King by way of Alice’s looking glass’. ‘Playboy’.

Code of Blood

‘Every now and again a writer comes along who can use the conventions of the genre and the language of popular fiction to fashion a novel that careens ahead with the speed and promise of danger of the Indy 500…
. This is what George C. Chesbro does’. ‘The Washington Post Book World’.

The Silent Killer

Chant Sinclair is an awesome warrior with a deadly secret past a self employed mercenary/con man and the hero of ‘Chant: The Silent Killer‘.

King’s Gambit

Chess, espionage, and redemption are the themes of ‘King’s Gambit‘, the novel that began a remarkable career. ‘Chesbro writes wonderfully strange mystery novels…
. In Chesbro’s hands the events are not only possible but real enough to make you nervous…
perfectly calculated, nail biting tension’. ‘Boston Sunday Herald’.

Turn Loose the Dragons

‘There is nothing in today’s mystery library that quite compares to George C. Chesbro’s work’. ‘Mostly Murder’.

Prism

In this original work, Chesbro presents a different kind of mystery as he plumbs the depths of a badly bruised writer’s heart and soul.

Strange Prey and Other Tales of the Hunt

Short stories including Strange Prey, the novella that was the basis for the Mongo mystery, Shadow Of A Broken Man.
