Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Three beautiful women are murdered in an Irish pub in Syracuse. The cops think it's an open and shut case, pointing the finger at bar owner James John Smith. But when the police fail to find Smith or any trail to his past, the mother of one of the victims hires former karaoke star and stripper Bill Free Willy Tedesco to investigate. The deeper Tedesco digs, the more secrets of the dead and living surface, and the question of who pulled the trigger becomes more important than why.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. John Headston is a private detective who, early in his career, was very successful, running a 12-man operation called THE HEADSTONE DETECTIVE AGENCY, mainly because the guy who painted the name on the door added the e at the end without realizing it was wrong. As the book opens, however, Headston is now 50, and the agency is down to just him. In his past he had run-ins with not only the law, but with the New York State Agency who had licensed him. As a result he spent some time in jail, and had his license revoked. Now he has it back, and is trying to get started again. His first case is a missing persons case, a wealthy woman whose husband just seems to have vanished from his Wall Street stockbroker job. Headston finds the man, who is now living under very odd circumstances, but the missing persons case quickly turns to murder. Aided by a tattooed young lady who decides she should work for him, Headston decides to work on the murder case, while attempting to avoid running afoul of the law and having his licensed revoked again--and possibly for good, this time.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. BROKLYN JUSTICE is a wild ride through the streets of the Borough of Churches. Private investigator Nick Ventura knows trouble-but not how to keep his nose out of it. A pool of blood spreading across a casino poker table, a Buick plowing through a storefront with a dead detective aboard, a fatal rendezvous in the shadow of a Coney Island landmark, a childhood friend gunned down walking his dog in the wrong place at the wrong time, a film distributor who thinks he can get away with murder through intimidation and violence, a mob boss assassinated leaving a neighborhood restaurant, and the particular brand of retribution necessary to level the playing field in the fourth largest city in America-J.L. Abramo serves it all up with a vengeance. In BROKLYN JUSTICE, award winning author J.L. Abramo again demonstrates his firm grasp on the language and morality of his native streets, with as many surprises as there are casualties. An ideal follow-up to his acclaimed novel GRAVESEND. -The Denver Review If grit, hard guys, and the rhythm of the mean streets is your thing, BROKLYN JUSTICE has got them in spades and J.L. Abramo is your man. -Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times Bestselling author of WHERE IT HURTS J.L. Abramo writes noir the way God and Hammett intended-tough, terse, and smart. BROKLYN JUSTICE is a great read with razor-sharp prose and a compelling cast. Nick Ventura is my kind of PI. -Michael Koryta, New York Times Bestselling author of THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD J. L. Abramo's 'Walking the Dog' weaves a seemingly loose collection of conversations, reflections, and memories into a suddenly tight narrative-no stray threads, no unnecessary details, nothing wasted. -Art Taylor, author of ON THE ROAD WITH DEL & LOUISE.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In the early 2000s, a string of abductions rocked the small upstate town of Reine, New York. Only one girl survived: Alex Salerno. The killer, Ken Parsons, was sent away. Life returned to normal. No more girls would have to die. Until another one did. It's been seven years since Kira Shanks was reported missing and presumed dead. Alex Salerno has been living in New York City, piecemealing paychecks to earn a livable wage, trying to forget those three days locked underground and her affair with Sean Riley, the married detective who rescued her. When Noah Lee, hometown reporter with a journalistic pedigree, requests an interview, Alex returns to Reine and Riley, reopening old wounds. What begins as a Q&A for a newspaper article soon turns into an opportunity for money, closure and--justice. The disappearance of Kira Shanks has long been hung on Benny Brudzienski, a hulking man-child who is currently a brain-addled guest at the Galloway State Mental Hospital. But after Alex reconnects with ex-classmates and frenemies, doubts are cast on that guilt. Alex is drawn into a dangerous game of show and tell in an insular town where everyone has a secret to hide. And as more details emerge about the night Kira Shanks went missing, Alex discovers there are some willing to kill to protect the horrific truth. In the modern vein of Dark Places and Mystic River, The One That Got Away is a dark, psychological thriller featuring a compelling, conflicted heroine and a page-turning narrative that races toward its final, shocking conclusion. Praise for THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: A great book I devoured it. Taut, pacey and with a powerful sense of place, Joe Clifford's The One Got Away is an intelligent and astutely observed piece of American small town noir. --Paula Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water Joe Clifford is a gifted storyteller with a knack for crafting characters who are entirely human. The One That Got Away is dark and unforgiving, a chilling crime novel with the perfect touch of tenderness that will keep readers turning the pages with haste. This is one book you won't be able to put down. --Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl and Every Last Lie The mystery of The One That Got Away sucked me in, but it was the emotional punch of Alex Salerno's return home that broke my heart. With its sharply observed characters and setting and crime-thriller pace, its tough exterior belies a vast, unexpected tenderness. I cannot not quit thinking about this book. --Emily Carpenter, author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls and The Weight of Lies It's not often that I read a top-notch thriller with layers of emotion buried within each page. On the surface, Joe Clifford's story of a young woman who survived a kidnapping and returns to her hometown to investigate a seemingly similar disappearance is compulsively readable, but when you dig a little deeper, you discover there's so much more to unpack. The On That Got Away is by far Clifford's best and most fully realized novel to date, and might well be the most rewarding thriller I've read this year. --Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Right up until they put him in jail, McKenzie thought the cops were kidding. After all, he did them a favor by stopping a rookie cop from roughing up a distraught woman at a murder scene. But the next thing he knows, he's in jail, missing an important date with his girlfriend, and reliving nightmares he thought he had left far behind him--and vowing payback for all of it. If that means sticking his nose into an ongoing murder investigation, well, he's done it before. Only what appears to be a straightforward case of a cheating boyfriend, his alcoholic girlfriend, and an opportune baseball bat proves far more complicated than the police are willing to accept. More disconcerting, as he investigates, McKenzie finds himself fighting the influence of a shadowy figure who controls more of what goes on in the Twin Cities than a rational voter would believe. Then there are the unidentified thugs who kill a witness and rough up him and his female lawyer ally. Soon McKenzie realizes that the truth of this sordid crime may be as hard to find--and as hard to live with--as the justice he seeks. Praise for DEAD BOYFRIENDS: Former cop Rushmore McKenzie certainly won't run from a fight, but he also has a softer side: he is a firm believer in loyalty and love, and he is a sucker for the underdog. When he stops to help a woman he sees at the side of the road, he has no idea he'll be calling on all these character traits to unravel the truth about the woman, a grisly murder, a string of dead boyfriends, and a secret in her past. Housewright is terrific--funny, wry, and dead-on--which, along with some unexpected plot twists, gives this the sort of appeal that will have readers asking for the next book as well as ones that can fill in McKenzie's history. --Booklist Once again, St. Paul's Saint George scatters the dragons who menace a damsel in distress. --Kirkus Reviews David Housewright is one of my favorite mystery authors. I'd read a cereal box if he wrote it. I really like McKenzie's character and enjoy his determination and sense of loyalty. He's the guy in the white hat, seeking to preserve justice for all. And he's always willing to put himself in harm's way to accomplish his goals. No risk, no reward. Dead Boyfriends is a fun ride with twists enough to surprise everyone. Housewright's attention to the various Twin Cities locals is spot on and tremendous fun for those of us who live here. His characters are rich and complex, his plot intriguing and satisfying. --Armchair Reviews.…
