THE CASE OF THE MISSING SOLE A SERGEANT
MARKIE MYSTERY A
retired NYPD Captain is found murdered gangland style in
the parking lot of a Bronx golf course. The entrepreneurial Richard
Frantellini and his first wife, through shrewd maneuvering, transformed a
family-owned mom and pop business into an empire. Their Frantellini
Shoe Factory and real estate holdings came about thanks to their partnership
with two immigrants from Milan. One of the minority partners is an inventor
who developed a blockbuster product that came to be known as The Frantellini Sole. The success of this product fueled
expansion and riches that exceeded expectations for Richard Frantellini and
his first wife. Things began to unravel after the unanticipated death of Mrs.
Frantellini. A despondent Richard falls prey to the
romantic attention of a dishonorable woman many years younger. Their marriage
results in a power struggle for control of the businesses between the second
wife and Richard's two daughters by his first wife. The key to guaranteed
future business success rests in Victor Spinello, the inventor/minority
partner from Milan, who is in the process of developing a product he calls
The Dynamic Shoe, a purported helpful answer to neuropathy. Seeing a fortune
in the new product causes all interested parties, which include the shady Frantellini Family lawyer, to step up their efforts to
seize control of and/or benefit from the businesses. The price for this goal
comes with the willingness to commit several murders. Sergeant Al Markie and
Detective Oliver Von Hess are called in to investigate the homicides at the
request of Father Fiorello St. Denis, an NYPD chaplain who uses his influence
with the Chief of Detectives. The investigation conducted by the detectives
is an expansive one that includes ties to Italy and Ireland. The reader is
invited to accompany Markie and Von Hess on their newest ride into the world
of greed, treachery, deception and ultimately murder(s). |
