Primary Source: A Cassandra Sato Short Mystery (A Cassandra Sato Mystery):
"If you're a fan of the series, you'll enjoy it. If you're new to the series, don't start here. The books focus on Cassandra, and this one takes place with other cast members while she's away at a conference. You won't get a solid feel for the overall"

added a status update: A Touch of Treason will be released on December 24th. Nick Bracco is forced to travel to Sicily to extract an FBI agent in trouble with the wrong people, However, the Sicilian Mafia is waiting for him. All the characters are there with him; Matt, Stevie and of course Tommy is there to mediate between the FBI and the real Mafia. It's one of the favorite stories and I'm excited to release this to my readers.

| One of the best books I've read all year. Cosby is on top of his game, using a myriad of nail-biting scenes to create tension on practically every page. The beginning was slow at first, but once the actions started it never stopped. I recommend this ...more | |
“Thomas,” the boss said. “How’s your father doing?” “He’s good, Sal.” Always the family questions first. That was Sal Demenci’s style. He could be about to whack someone and he’d ask how the guy’s sister was doing in school.”

“What happened to the perp?” “Perp?” “The piece of crap who tried to kill my wife. Where is he now?” There was a pause, then, “Well, uh, you see, the guy—he’s in the parking lot right now.” “What’s he doing there? Is he being arrested?” “Actually, he’s resting. As a matter of fact, he’s going to be resting for a really long time.” Nick understood the term. “Tommy, by any chance did he stumble upon an open window?”

John, thanks for reaching out to me. I'm not familiar with J.C. Fields, however, I will definitely be checking him out. I'm hoping to have book seven out by the end of the year. If you subscribe to my webpage at garyponzo.com you'll received an email anytime I release a new book. Thanks again,Gary
just finished book six and can not wait to see what happens next. Have Flight 12 in my next few books that I have read.The action in your stories is similar to Sean Kruger stories by J.C. Fields. Are you familiar, if not recommend you check him out.
Thanks Stuart. I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the group.
G'day Gary, Great to see you here at goodreads.All the best mate, Stuart
