Murder on Third Avenue: Murder in the Publishing Industry

The time is just before the ebook publishing craze when hardcover books were king and the book business as ruthless as it was exciting. Imagine the highly respected CEO of a giant New York publishing house being blackmailed by one of his own editors. Visualize that same editor found murdered in his office a few days after the blackmail demand. Imagine, too, the mounting evidence that gradually surfaces implicating the CEO. But things are not always what they appear to be. Halfway through the novel the reader learns who the real killer is. The reader also sees that the killer is getting away with murder. It's a roller-coaster ride as two NYPD detectives struggle to find out what the reader already knows. In the course of their investigations the detectives encounter additional corpses and a twist that you won't see coming. Venues include Manhattan, Westchester County, NY, Paris, and Los Angeles.
