THE CASE OF THE DEADLY DIARY

A SERGEANT MARKIE MYSTERY

 

A retired NYPD Captain is found murdered gangland style in the parking lot of a Bronx golf course. Sgt. Al Markie and Detective Oliver Von Hess are assigned to support the precinct detective who caught the case. Their investigation leads to the doorstep of Ester Trumbell, a fragile woman who committed suicide as a result of failed romantic involvements with men. Esther left behind a diary that revealed the identity of her past lovers, one being the murdered captain. The bodies start dropping after the tell all journal is discovered by Esther's father. Buckle up, reader, as you accompany Markie on a ride that comes complete with personal heartbreak, scheming mobsters, revenge, and inevitably, additional slayings. The Case of the Deadly Diary, book seven in the series, is a Sergeant Markie Mystery that fans are sure to enjoy.

 

 

Looking into the Soul of Organized Crime.

Reviewed on June 11, 2025

Anthony Celano has the unique ability to seamlessly have his characters interact no matter the situation. It is with no hesitation that I attribute this talent to his law enforcement experience with organized crime. He has the jargon, the dress, the personalities, and the expectations down pat. This book, although crammed with clashing scenarios, is a very quick read. The transfer from one posture to another is remarkably without confusion. The author gives a down-to-earth look into the thinking, planning and implementation of organized crime's drastic measures.

Celano does it again with Markie!

Reviewed on June 5, 2025

This is the seventh in the Sgt. Markie Mystery Series. Each book easily stands alone and would make a great season in a televised series. The author, retired NYPD Detective Sergeant Anthony Celano, again keeps the reader intrigued and at times at the edge of a seat as the story unfolds. The author's real life experience is obviously ingrained throughout the story line. The main character's work ethic, investigative skills and flaws provide a very realistic perspective for the reader. Once again highly recommended. Looking forward to number 8.
