Book Description
"'Daingerfield Island' puts the ''i'' in danger: intelligent, imaginative, intriguing. The book is a timely metaphor about the power of alternative facts in a post-truth world.'' --Michael Neff, author of All The Dark We Will Not See ''Wasowicz's promising legal thriller series launch introduces savvy Washington, D.C., defense attorney Mo Katz. Mo is retained by Nate Harding, who the police believe was involved in the drowning of Libby Lewis, the chief of staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee, who was found floating in the Potomac River near Daingerfield Island. But Mo doesn't know that Harding has been working with a shady CIA operative, Jack Smith, who planned to lure a lone wolf terrorist into a trap on the island with Lewis's help. Lewis was going to pass him a flash drive that ostensibly contained details to facilitate a hit on a 'flamboyant Arabian sheik,' but that daring covert operation went awry. Smith convinces Harding to offer himself up as a temporary murder suspect, to give Smith a chance to cover his tracks and to develop a new plan to catch the terrorist. Mo must look beyond his new client s questionable representation to learn the truth about the congressional staffer's death. Wasowicz's experience as a trial attorney is put to good use in courtroom scenes, and he's equally adept with action sequences.'' --Book Life/Publisher's Weekly

Book Description
"Spite House," book seven of the Old Town mystery series, continues the series begun by John Adam Wasowicz in 2017 with "Daingerfield Island," which introduced readers to attorney Mo Katz and his entourage of crime solvers. Katz, now returned to private practice after service as U.S. Attorney, accepts the case of Roxie Neele, a local cremudgeon who lives in a 'spite house,' one of a handful of tiny structures built in Old Town in the 1800s to "spite" the neighbors. Roxie stands accused of murdering her neighbor Trudy Vine with a poison cupcake. Roxie's case unfolds against the backdrop of the ongoing killing spree of Rose Bud, a serial killer who terrorizes the community. Unknown to others, Roxie has elicited Mo's support in an effort to end Rose Bud's reign of terror. She believes that only Mo Katz possesses the legal acumen to spin a defense to catch a criminal in an unrelated case. Once Mo discerns Roxie's motivation, the twosome unite in a spirited effort to expose the serial killer, who is hiding in plain sight. "Spite House" combines courtroom scenes with a fast-paced narrative set in Old Town. The story culminates as Rose Bud -- whose identity has been revealed -- seeks to punish Roxie and Mo for unmasking him by burning down the spite house. "Spite House" is a continuation of the series based in Old Town Alexandria. Along with Mo Katz, the series features Deputy Police Chief Sherry Stone, private investigator Curtis Santana, legal researcher Mai Lin, city prosecutor David Reese, social worker Abby Snowe, and U.S. Senator Abraham Lowenstein. Additional titles in the series include "Jones Point" (2019), "Slaters Lane" (2020), "Roaches Run" (2021), Gadsby's Corner" (2022), and "Hazel Falls" (2023).
