This review is from: Irreversible Error (Paperback)
Phoenix, Wolf. "Irreversible Error", Dreamspinner Press, 2010.
Nightlife in Houston
Lately
Dreamspinner Press has been publishing some really first-rate novels
and such is the case with Wolf Phoenix's "Irreversible Error".
Erik Steppenwolf is a cop finds himself in the middle of Houston's drag scene where hustlers are also found. He got there because he was asked by an old friend to investigate her son's death. He manages to get Lola, a flamboyant drag queen to help him and she introduces him to the hustlers who may know something about the murderer. As Erik sits at one of Lola's shows, he meets a dancer, Red, and the two are immediately attracted to each other and as they start an affair, the murder puzzle begins to come to light and hints and clues that will lead to a murder conviction are exposed but there is still the idea that everything has not been uncovered. Things between Erik and red begin to sour and they go their separate ways and Erik decides that his foray in Houston is over and he thinks about moving on. However he still wants to find the truth and is not sure that he is over Red.
Phoenix gives us quite a look at Houston and the characters that dwell in the seedy underworld of drag queens and hustlers. He has creates several interesting characters and Erik and Lola, along with others, are wonderfully drawn. I do not want to disclose any more about the plot because to do so would spoil the read. Take my advice, you will keep reading this until you close the covers and then want to start it all over again.

Dreamspinner Press
Houston, Texas - Wolf Phoenix, a former court reporter and new
author from the Houston area, has written two books and is working on
three more in the Steppenwolf Mysteries series.
Summary: Irreversible Error - Asked by an old friend for help
solving her son's mysterious death. Cop Erik Steppenwolf plunges into
Houston’s night world of drag queens and hustlers. First he enlists the
aid of a flamboyant drag queen named Lola, who introduces him to street
hustlers who may have clues to the murderer’s identity. During one of
Lola’s outrageous shows, a naughty but nice dancer named Red bursts onto
the scene, stealing Steppenwolf’
s heart.
As the commitment between Red and Steppenwolf grows, each piece of
the murderous puzzle uncovered reveals a wild string of events that
leads to a capital murder conviction… but also a nagging suspicion that
there’s a lot more to the story. When he and Red break up, there’s no
reason for Steppenwolf to stay in Houston, unless he makes up his mind
not to let go of his search for the truth—or Red.
Summary: Acts of Redemption - After a murder investigation gone
tragically wrong, Detective Erik Steppenwolf is determined to track down
the man who killed his lover and his friend’s son. His quest sends him
on an around-the-world trek to bring the culprit to justice, and he’ll
take on the Russian Mafia, disinterested law enforcement officers, and
misinformed witnesses to get to the bottom of the mystery.
The search also brings an old flame back into his life, but love
never comes easy. Steppenwolf will have to battle not only the bad guys,
but also the good guys as well as his own inner doubts in order to find
redemption for a past mistake.

Irreversible Error by Wolf Phoenix was one of the best mysteries I have read in a very long time.
Erik Steppenwolf is asked by his former partner’s widow Lilah
Patterson, to help solve her son Marcus death. While dealing with some
ghosts of his own he plunges head first in an investigation.
Along the way Erik meets some very interesting characters. The first
is a very outrages drag queen named Lola. Erik also meets Red a young
man who enters a wet undies contest. The sparks fly right away with
these two.
There are so many twists and turns in this story. Wolf Phoenix will
keep you guessing right up until the end. I can’t wait to read the next
installment to this story.
