In Michael Blair's True Believers, we meet private eye Hack Loomis, a transplanted Canadian now living in Burlington, Vermont. His assistant of two years (and now new lover) Connie Noble is concerned about her friend Belle Ryerson, who was supposed to meet her one afternoon, never showed up and hasn't been seen since. Loomis' investigations lead him to a strange group that believes in UFOs; more, they think that one of them is in contact with aliens who are helping the group raise money to build a transmitter, which the aliens will then use to guide a spaceship that will in turn take the group off Planet Earth, which is about to self-destruct. How could Belle, who Loomis hears is a very practical person, come to be involved with this group, and more importantly, where is she now? Loomis has less time than he thinks to find the answers.... I found this book in a free "library box" in the neighbourhood and chose to read it because Michael Blair is a Montrealer, and I like to support local writers. But, well, the book wasn't really all that interesting - not much happens for lengthy periods of time, and when the action does pick up, it's very cliched (loads of guns and other fire-power, for example). Still, it's fairly well written and I liked the occasional Canadian-isms that the author throws in, and there are several interesting characters involved; so, a mild recommendation from me.

Business is slow for Burlington, Vermont, private investigator John "Hack" Loomis, so when Loomis's assistant Connie Noble asks him to look into the disappearance of her friend Belle Ryerson, Loomis agrees. Belle went missing after attending a meeting of a local UFO group run by a charismatic psychiatrist who treats people who believe they've been abducted by aliens, and also by a disarmingly beautiful woman who claims to be in contact with an alien mother ship. As Loomis's investigation takes him and Connie to the edge of the lunatic fringe and beyond, they find themselves in danger from people far more frightening than true believers.
