Book Description
Jancy Dewhurst, 23, a pushy, disheveled newspaper reporter, nervously attends her first homicide and immediately locks horns with Jim Wills, 27, a natty cop who has no use for reporters meddling in an investigation. Observant, Jancy marvels that she contributes more to the investigation than the cop, but must be nice and try to cultivate him as a source. A second victim marked with the killer's same odd signature is found near the university campus, prompting a second brusque run-in between Jancy and Jim. An attorney, S.B.I. Agent Wills ably assimilates information into theories of a crime; but often overlooks vital data. Jancy notices details, but has no idea how they apply. Pooling their talents, Jim and Jancy complement each other, leading to grudging regard for each other. A third killing draws both Dewhurst and Wills. The governor names Wills in charge of the investigations. After a fourth victim succumbs, Jim cautions Jancy not to snoop into the killings on her own. When she stumbles onto an unlikely lead and appears to put herself in jeopardy, Wills is livid and the fragile bond between Jim and Jancy snaps. However, they reconcile and devise a plan to flush the suspect they each independently have concluded is the ribbon murderer. The Ribbon Murders is the first of a three-book series featuring Jim Wills and Jancy Dewhurst. They pair up to solve more murders in Volume 2, Murder Aboard the Choctaw Gambler, and Volume 3, Candlesticks.

Book Description
The death of someone is always a tragedy. But death after death of several unrelated older people in the peaceful town of West Port, Mississippi at the hand of an unknown assailant sets off a state of alarm bordering on panic. When it is apparent that a serial killer dwells among the gentle folk, it is not only a cause for intense law enforcement intervention but also a baffling mystery. What is the motivation? Given the near poverty level of the earlier victims, the motive was not money. Investigators noted that although several homicides occurred right after the first of the month, some victims' benefit checks lay in plain sight. Could it be family matters? Maybe, but that explanation did not apply to all of the murders. Sexual attacks were highly questionable until later when at least one attack almost certainly appeared to be sexual. But it was not. Like an avenging ghost, Chief Detective Bird follows the trail of victims, noting one major recurring clue. The final explosive ending points to an entirely different solution, one which would bring a close to the violence. Or would it?

NYPD's Midtown South Precinct, at their wits end, hire a private investigative team, Mancuso & O'Brian Investigations.

Book Description
A Murder on Wall Street takes us inside the world of Captain O'Brian's Irish Pub and Cigar Bar in Manhattan, a legendary hotspot in the Financial District. Investigating the death are pub owners Joey Mancuso, fired from the NYPD for his unorthodox methods, and his brother Father Dominic, who isn't your typical priest. Also investigating is Marcy Martinez, a Cuban bombshell and FBI agent who's Joey's girlfriend. When a customer kills himself after celebrating the night before, the three know something's wrong. Turns out, the customer's death coincides with people losing money, and lots of it-and some of those people are very, very dangerous. The apparent suicide of a hedge fund executive and the hit and run accident of his assistant leads Mancuso, Father O'Brian, and FBI Special Agent Martinez into the underworld of Wall Street. Money laundering, insider trading, and a Ponzi scheme are but a few of the crimes they uncovered, as they try and piece together this crime-ridden puzzle. Joey Mancuso spent sixteen years in the NYPD earning his First Grade Detective shield and becoming one of the most successful homicide detectives. His last case, the murder of a homeless person in an alley behind the famed 21 Club, went unsolved. Political pressure undermined the case, as Joey's efforts led him to a congressional candidate and a Wall Street major donor with political juice. His efforts to continue the investigation in spite of the pushback caused his forced retirement from the NYPD. The Internal Affairs Division has sealed his file warning him to cease or else. Now a half-owner, with his half-brother, Catholic priest, Father Mancuso, of an Irish pub, he continues his quest to solve crimes. Both are private investigators and together with Joey's girlfriend, FBI agent Marcy, set out to bring to justice perpetrators of crimes, law enforcement is ignoring. Can a priest, his brother, and the brother's girlfriend solve a murder case and see justice done-or will they be the murderer's latest victim? Fast-paced, suspenseful and thrilling, A Murder on Wall Street is one case you'll want to solve yourself. But the ending is unexpected, as the puzzle finally comes together in this page-turner you won't want to put down. -Parr is a master storyteller, equally adept at weaving a tale of international political intrigue or, as he proves in his latest novel, a classic story of private sleuths cracking a New York murder mystery, with a side order of whiskey and cigars. You'll want to have both on hand when you pick up this book.- -Jim Nesbitt, author of The Last Second Chance and The Right Wrong Number, Ed Earl Burch hard-boiled detective thrillers. -A well-plotted and researched detective mystery novel. As much as I tried to solve the case while I read, Parr proved me wrong every time.- -Oscar Rodriguez, Criminal Attorney -Parr has a knack for creating memorable characters that come to life in the pages of his novels.- -Tom Spencer, Esquire -If Michael Connelly and Robert Ludlum wrote a book together, the result would be an Owen Parr -Crime Mystery Novel.- -Mike Pettit, Best Selling Author -Parr's, A Murder On Wall Street, had me guessing 'whodunit' all the way through the end. The culmination is unexpected. Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed the first Mancuso, O'Brian crime mystery novel.- --Jose Valero, Entrepreneur -Joey's love and relationship with Marcy, makes this crime mystery, a love story. Can't wait for these two to reappear in Parr's next novel. Enjoyed every minute.- -Cheryl Walker Castela, Author

Book Description
A trail of beribboned murders. A ticking bomb. A city about to explode. July, 1858: London swelters under the oppressive heat of the hottest summer on record, and trouble is brewing. Forensic scientist Professor Adolphus Hatton and his trusty assistant, Albert Roumande, have a morgue full of cholera victims. The dead are all Irish, the poorest of London's poor. They came in their thousands ten years ago, forced into the London slums by the terrible famine. Now they live segregated from the rest of Victorian society, a race apart in this heaving city who are at once everywhere and nowhere. But they are a close knit people, and deeply politicised. From the docks in Limehouse to the taverns of St Giles, Fenian groups are talking of violence and of liberation. When a series of violent murders threatens to cause tensions to boil over, Scotland Yard calls on Hatton and Roumande to help investigate. The seemingly unconnected victims, who hail from all strata of society, are linked by the same macabre calling card: a bright Fenian green ribbon placed strategically about their corpses. While Hatton's search for clues leads him into the spell of a blindingly beautiful woman, a widow of one of the slain, rumblings of a bombing campaign led by an agitator priest and his gang of would-be terrorists build throughout the slums. As the orchestra of veiled motives, divided loyalties, and violent retribution reaches a crescendo, Hatton's skills are tested to the limit. With Roumande, he must race across London to an island with a shipwreck and a secret on a nail-biting race against time in this gripping, elegantly executed Victorian mystery in the tradition of The Dante Club and The Somnambulist.
