"Mankind built our houses, and our factories. We brought our ships to darken the shores of Neverland. We stole the very name of this place. Everland." When Basil Stark, Everland's premiere (and only) private detective, is approached by a man claiming to be stalked by the legendary Crocodile, he's dubious. The Crocodile hasn't been sighted in years - like pirates, Lost Boys, and the legendary Pan, it's a relic of the days when Neverland was wild and untamed. It's a new world since the corporations came to the island, and there's no room for monsters in the Everland of 1951. But a case is a case, and a private detective - even an ex-pirate - can't afford to be choosy. And there's something suspicious going on at Hawthorne Logging. Missing surveyors, fallen stars, and an inquisitive engineer are bad enough, but the most dangerous thing of all? The Crocodile might still be around after all. And once it gets your scent, there's no way to throw it off your trail...

Selected as one of the year's most compelling debut novels for Kobo's Emerging Writer Prize, Shadow Stitcher is guaranteed to deliight.This fast paced Noir mystery has a great cast of easily identifiable characters, a plot both easy to follow and intriguing, and an ending that will leave you satisfied.-----"...a rollicking mystery with a fascinating setting, a magical world with a hardboiled edge. For a novel with noir leanings, it's a surprisingly bright read; light, airy, and joyous, as if it's been sprinkled with fairy dust." - Ilana Lucas-----About the book:Basil Stark isn't the man he once was. A reformed pirate and private detective, he walks the line between criminal and hero, living in the corners of what was once the island of Neverland, its magic slowly fading into the new world of the 1950s. But when a routine missing-persons case turns into a murder investigation, Basil finds himself pulled into a tale of organized crime, murder, unstitched shadows and dangerous espionage. With only a handful of fellow outcasts and a stubborn determination to bring a killer to justice, will he survive the many people who want him dead?-----"...a mystery that was complex and satisfying without being convoluted just for the sake of it, a twist that felt earned and didn't come entirely out of left-field, characters who were interesting and whose motivations slowly unspooled in a really satisfying way, and just the right balance of magic and grime." - Wren Handman-----About the Author:Misha Handman has been involved in writing for most of his life.
