Finding Ami: Polish Dragon P. I. is a suspenseful novella written by Steve Zimcosky for his popular Polish Dragon P.I. series. Private investigator Tom Sipowicz, also known as the Polish Dragon, is recuperating from a gunshot wound when his partner Suzie Mandrake is presented with a very unusual case. The wealthy and influential Lucius Shad wants them to find his daughter Ami who has been supposedly missing for twenty years. As the duo investigates the case, they find themselves being followed by agents of the government and foreign powers. Ami Shad is suspected of trying to sell secrets about biological weapons. As general manager of Shad Industries in Taos, New Mexico, a company doing clandestine business with the government, the possibility is real. She is also known to have had a difficult relationship with her father since her mother died.
Steve Zimcosky’s Finding Ami is a fast-paced thriller with unexpected plot twists, wicked bad guys, and page-turning tension. Tom Sipowicz and Susie Mandrake are very likable protagonists and although this is the first book from the Polish Dragon series that I have read, I feel like I know them very well. The succinct length makes it an easy read without sacrificing too much of the story’s plots and twists. This book is ideal for young adult readers who like to read thrillers but don’t have the patience for lengthy novels. Finding Ami will take you on a ride from start to finish, pull you in, build tension with suspense, and keep you guessing until the very end. And it is a roller coaster ride. Highly recommended!
