Bishop Regan and Davey Goldman Mystery #1-4
The Davey Goldman Crime Mysteries: Books 1-4
Meet Davey the hot-headed ex-cop with a crime-solving secret weapon – the Bishop of New York.
Disgraced former NYC cop Davey Goldman has made an unusual career move. Thirty hours a week, he’s personal assistant to the Bishop of New York. The rest of the time, he runs his private detective agency from Bishop Regan’s mansion, which suits the Bishop just fine.
Because the Bishop just can’t resist getting involved in Davey’s investigations . . .
And Davey needs the Bishop’s sharp observations and high IQ to crack his toughest cases.
This unlikely alliance between the cynical New York private eye and a straight-laced Catholic Bishop doesn’t go down well with Inspector Kessler, the district’s homicide detective. He’s continually frustrated by their unorthodox methods and side-stepping of police procedure.
But even Kessler has to admit that this unconventional partnership helps keep the killers off the streets.
In this 4-book box set:
BOOK 1: THE CHARTREUSE CLUE
Finalist for both the Agatha and Macavity Awards for Best First Novel.
Father William Fuller is in deep trouble. His reckless relationship with a young woman has made him prime suspect for her murder. Davey must protect Father Fuller’s reputation and solve the complex case before the police target the wrong man.
BOOK 2: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MURDER
On four consecutive Friday nights, women have been murdered on the city streets. Their throats garrotted and a card reading REPENT! thrust into their mouth. Jerry Fanning, a fundamentalist preacher, fits the police profile. But Regan thinks otherwise. Between his brain and Davey’s brawn they are in a race to prove Jerry’s innocence.
BOOK 3: BLOODY TEN
Jim Kearney is no. 1 suspect for the murder of his long-lost brother, Nick. Davey is convinced he’s innocent, but the police aren’t impressed when he illegally shields Jim. Davey and Bishop Regan must produce the real killer before Jim faces jail.
BOOK 4: BISHOP’S REVENGE
Eddie Goode, the man who got away with shooting Bishop Regan and putting him in a wheelchair, has been accused of murder. He turns to Davey and the Bishop to prove his innocence. As Davey and Regan uncover dark secrets about the victim’s family, they must decide if they really want to let Goode get away again.
