b"After responding to a richly scented plea for help Chicago PI Scanner Grant teams up with the charismatic Max Zwoelstra to travel to Hong Kong in search of Max\\u2019s adoptive father who has disappeared while selling cheese to the Chinese. \\n\\nCloser to home, a slew of abductions and the gruesome murder of a young Tibetan girl severely rattle Scanner\\u2019s old friend and guardian, the esoteric taxi driver Lobsang. \\n\\nAs both seemingly unrelated cases edge closer to an explosive finale, Scanner & Max need all the help they can muster while they confront a Nazi scientist, a battle scarred Vietnamese pimp, an over the hill Aussie punter and a morbid Japanese priest. \\n\\nThe long hidden secrets they unravel along the way are bound to change their lives forever. \\n\\nJonathan Kemp is the author alter ego of award winning photographer Hans Kemp.\\n\\nHans' photography books, documenting culture and life in both known and remote parts of Asia have sold well over 100,000 copies worldwide.\\nHis first crime novel, A Nose for Trouble, is the answer to a question long occupying his mind: How difficult can writing a book be?\\n\\nCertainly not a walk in the park, Jonathan compares the writing process to the hard work of being on the road. When you set off you may have a sense of direction but the logistics will seem daunting. Along the way you will meet an array of extraordinary characters whose very existence was unheard of only moments earlier. Even the final destination remains obscured until you actually turn that last corner.\\n\\nA Nose for Trouble is the first book in the Scanner & Max Mystery Series. New adventures loom, the empty screen begs, just as the road not yet traveled. \\n\\nIt was great to finally catch up with Hans, the other half of the duo behind Crimewave Press, and find out how the publishing company came into being. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him about how this novel came into shape, his travels and life throughout Asia, and what's next not only for him, but for Crimewave Press!\\n\\nYou can find out more about Hans and Crimewave Press at:\\n\\nhttp://crimewavepress.com"
