Release 3/8/22
Coming out this Tuesday, my eighth book. Rather hard to believe, and humbling, that I've managed to have eight books published in the last ten years, especially considering I never planned to get into long fiction.
Not to be cantankerous, but none of them self or hybrid published. While I haven't yet had one really break out in sales, I count myself fortunate that various publishers have seen something in my work and are willing to take the leap. If I'm lucky, at some point they'll be repaid for their faith.
But moving beyond the maudlin, here's a look at Sam Quinton, Private Eye, Number 3 - Double Frame:
Sociology professor Felix Thayer is brilliant but hateful. A near genius in his field, but impossible to get along with. When his colleague Michael Hartness is found murdered in his office, it doesn't surprise anyone that Thayer is arrested for the crime. Everyone who knew the two men pretty much saw that coming. But why would Thayer have committed the murder in a manner so careless as to almost ensure his being fingered as the culprit? It's almost as if the guy wanted to be caught.
That's what Thayer's wife needs to know. She doesn't really care whether her husband's guilty. She just has to know why he'd be so careless and hires Sam Quinton, full-time gym owner, part-time private eye, and former professional wrestler, to find out. But as Quinton investigates the crime, he finds there may be more to the affair than the animosity of two men. And when the local Mafia begins dogging his steps, he figures he's on the trail of something that someone wants kept under wraps.
