The Marsh Mallows
A homicide detective solves a series of murders of blue-eyed blondes employed in the sex trade, but worries that the confessed killer may not be the real killer after all.
The Marsh Mallows is a crime thriller set on Long Island. A single scream in the night begins New York Detective Danny Boyland’s investigation into the “crime of the decade.” Melanie Smith, a beautiful, blue-eyed blonde escort, has disappeared after her last date. The search for her leads to the discovery of numerous bodies in the swampy marshlands and bogs of the Island’s south shore. Not only are blue-eyed blondes formerly employed in the sex trade turning up dead, but also several suspected drug mules, and a bevy of long-dead mobsters dating back to the Lufthansa heist in the 70s. From eastern Long Island to Brooklyn, a three-pronged task force of the area’s top detectives sets out to solve the murders. Danny’s investigation leads him to the highest ranks of the New York Metropolitan Police Department, a meticulously crafted frame-up, and a resolution that will haunt him forever.

Absolution
A new murder mystery due out on September 2, 2021 to be published by Black Rose Writing. Absolution is a stand-alone novel (not part of my two series) with new characters and plot line. Short description:
A teenager, Joey “Noonz” Mastronunzio, is forced to participate in a home invasion in Queens leaving a young couple dead and their baby an orphan. Determined to atone for his crime, Joey serves in the Marine Corps and then enters the seminary. The baby, Michael Simon, grows up to be an NYPD Homicide Lieutenant determined to find and arrest the “guy who got away” on the night of his parents murders over forty years ago. When Lieutenant Simon finally discovers and locates the second perpetrator, he is shocked to learn he has known him most of his adult life. What follows is an unlikely alliance between them filled with threats, intrigue, deception, cover-ups, and murder, which stretch up to the highest echelons of the NYPD and the Catholic Church as both institutions desperately seek to block the public release of the church’s long-hidden detailed records of depravity.
Look for it on Black Rose Writing or Amazon. Hope you enjoy it..Henry
