THE CASE
OF THE AMOROUS CADDY A SERGEANT
MARKIE MYSTERY The Sergeant Markie saga continues. Dennis Bumper
is a cabdriver who works as a part time golf caddy at a swanky club on Staten
Island. A holy roller, Dennis falls hopelessly in love with a married club
member. Dennis, in an attempt to break up the
marriage, secretly follows and harasses the husband, a plastic surgeon. After
gathering what he believed to be incriminating information, Dennis tells his
love interest what he found out. This leads to an explosive confrontation
that culminates in Dennis brutally murdering her. Dennis,
shifts blame for his actions onto the physician
husband and others. In seeking vengeance, he goes on to commit additional
murders. Detective Sergeant Al Markie and Detective Oliver Von Hess are
called in to help investigate these homicides. After Dennis is identified as
the killer, a manhunt for him commences. Dennis is harbored by a fellow holy
roller. The caddy intends to give himself up to the law, but only after he
confesses his sins to a priest. The priest in question, Father Billy, is in actuality a criminal impersonator who, along with a
girlfriend posing as his assistant, bilks elderly parishioners. In the midst of this Markie’s receives information on a
past homicide that places the spotlight on his old nemesis, Fishnet Milligan.
Fishnet, on a quest to establish himself as a movie producer, seeks to
further the career of his talented actor girlfriend.
Wanting to solidify his hold over her, Fishnet seeks out the services of
Father Billy, who he knows to be a rogue. Markie and
Von Hess now find themselves looking at more murders and begin to slowly fit
the pieces into an all-encompassing puzzle. This Markie tale is one full of
surprises that begin with The Case of The Amorous Caddy and ends with the
reader thirsting for more. Since
introducing Sergeant Markie in 2019, Anthony Celano has upped the tension
with each sequel, and continued to feature the
complexity and the honest-to-New-York detail that reflects his years as a
real-life detective. In “Amorous Caddy,” Celano has conjured up a fascinating
assortment of neer-do-wells, and a spider-web plot
that grips the reader. Celano has a winning brand: Markie is its name. The
Sgt Markie series continues without disappointment. The numerous twists and
turns make this edition a real page turner. I highly recommend the book.
Looking forward to the next one |
