BUY ALL [five] Luke Fitz Novellas.....A great gift any time of the year!
By Lisa Lemons
Always one to enjoy a good “who-dun-it”, but not a literary/film critic, I share my attempt to review author, Nils Grevillius’, Nuevo Noir Novellas.
Employing avant-garde art by local Pasadena Art Center graudautes and tongue-in-cheek characterization of Pasadena’s go-to private detective, Luke Fitz, Grevillius captures 1970s Pasadena revealing its little known seamy underbelly,
As a Pasadena native, one recognizes street names and local establishments some of which remain; many long since replaced with big-box retailers. One, however, must not hail from Pasadena to relate to big city capers in a cloistered town.
Grevillius eloquently employs his signature stilo of few words and staccato cadence regailing readers with tales of a subdued residential town known for its Rose Parade, fine educational institutions, and blue-blood guard; beneath which lays the darker side of humanity. Growing up in “quiet” Pasadena, I had little knowledge of the intriguing antics revealed by private investigator, Fitz.
A beat PI, with a nose for trouble and an uncanny ability to stay out of it, Fitz takes readers through twisting plots, capers and characters. Novellas one, two and three: A City of Devils, SubRosa and Skulldiggery are quick reads. Horseplay reads not so fast, more meat.
Suicide Jack and the One-Eyed King, with its multiple subplots and developed characters; is less novella and more novel. Akin to a French Bordeaux; read it once to wet the pallet; read it again to reveal its full-bodied tannins; a mature mini-novel.
Grevillius, the author, is coming into his own. With many more capers to unravel, I look forward to following the series and anticipate the screen version. Stay tuned!

January 2016 Review of "Suicide Jack and the One Eyed King" by Andy Bianco
By andybianco
One feels perpetually hung over when reading this book by Nils Grevillius as the protagonist insures his veins are coursing with a generous supply of booze at all times. The grimy yet capable Luke "Fitz" is roughly hewn in the Philip Marlowe, Jake Gittes, Lemmy Caution archetype of the post-war Private Eye; a jaded, boozy, anti-hero with underlying sociopathic tendencies.
Giving us a tour of early 1960's gloomy Pasadena while on the case of a murdered narcotics agent & a missing junkie weasel, Fitz's encounters involve various characters from the city's underbelly such as drunks, bums, bartenders, prostitutes, dirty cops & lonely grieving widows….And many trips to the Club 120 for several glasses of rye & a few drafts. The plot unfolds gradually & reveals how small a town Pasadena is in this story & how interconnected so many of the characters are. Fitz is a character who is supposed to make us cringe in discomfort. He’s a dirty drunk with no respect for women (or much of anything really), yet the message here is that he’s the only one who can facilitate justice in this ultra noir setting. Clearly Miles Peck & Keith Nishiyama, the 2 most seemingly moral characters in this novella have no value as warriors against injustice & corruption as they were eliminated very early on. Only Fitz who constantly marinates in this dark world can mediate justice. Cruel, sleazy, & of ill repute & character, he is a reflection of the seedy environment in which he exists, & proves to be the only one capable of uncovering the pathos that ails Pasadena. A tainted heroin supply on the streets, a string of lethal overdoses, gangland style shootouts in public & hired shot-gunning assassins make this thriller full of action. Through his case work Fitz does piece together the puzzle which paints an even darker picture than was initially revealed to us. However, as in classic Film Noir style, ambiguities exist at the denouement: What exactly was the connection involving Ray Abraxas ? What will happen with Sue? At the end Fitz redeems his unsavory self in clearing Nishiyama of murder charges & rescuing his love interest from professional hit men, an overdose & a junkie boyfriend, but one is left with the feeling that not all is REALLY well. As expressed by this final piece of street wisdom Fitz offers to Ben Baum , “..in this town the whores have dirty feet & the cops, sometimes, have dirty hands…” (Perhaps a salute to “Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown…”?) As in the the perpetual color of the sky, the Pasadena crafted with such vivid imagery by Nils Grevillius exists in varying shades of gray. -Andy Bianco

Classic hard boiled detective
By Mrjag
Suicide Jack and the One Eyed King
By Nils Grevillius
Review by Richard Venola
This is a 1930s noir detective story—complete with raincoats, tough guys and staccato dialog—but set in 1980s Los Angeles.
In spite of gloomy characters and sordid, unnecessary crimes, the lively dialog propels Suicide Jack along like a runaway rollercoaster.
Author Nils Grevillius, a real-life full-time private investigator, has obviously created his distinctive characters from the varied folks he’s encountered in his long service as a professional sleuth. One of the weak points is that we the readers want to know more about these crepuscular people who inhabit a rainy Los Angeles and its genteel-on-the-surface suburb of Pasadena (we want to know more about the Mexican who looks like Abe Lincoln). Alas, this is a novella and not a novel, and things like characters’ life histories have been left in the booking cell.
Convincing protagonist Luke Fitz shares the spotlight with a character of equal importance: his rye whiskey. The author, a once-ferocious alcoholic, writes about Luke’s alcoholism with the same intensity as did Joseph Wambaugh in his later novels. But Grevillius does it so flamboyantly, and with such variety, that it never gets old.
The author’s discussion regarding the heroin addiction of other characters is less convincing, perhaps as the author is only referencing what he’s learned second hand, and so it doesn’t seem to come from the heart. Suffice it say that the descriptions afford it no glamour.
Grevillius guides us through cop-detective interactions in a very convincing manner. He’s obviously done this himself for several decades, but it’s never routine. The author’s frequently inverted sentence structure makes it lively and really brings the reader into the smoke filled rooms of shabby hotels and the vomit-scented bars of Reagan Los Angeles.
You won’t find much technology in Suicide Jack. No forensic wunderkinds or laboratory lawmen. It’s all people skills and old-fashioned stake-outs and drunken stalks.
Once you take a stiff slug of the story, you’ll finish it in a couple readings and you’ll want more when you’re done. Another rye, please.
