THE CASE
OF THE ONE EARED WOLF A SERGEANT
MARKIE MYSTERY The Sergeant Markie saga continues. In the early
1970's Jasper and Chris, twin brothers, enter the National Guard to avoid the
draft and the perils of Vietnam. Upon their return from active duty the
brothers, both organized crime associates, resume their lawbreaking ways.
During an obligatory weekend drill they find
themselves at odds with an abusive sergeant at the armory. The brothers
remedy this conflict by murdering the sergeant. They hide the body behind a
deteriorating bricked up passageway within the
confines of the Deep Six, a spooky, rarely visited, sub
basement in the Park Slope armory. The victim's sudden disappearance
causes people to assume that he ran off to escape an unhappy home life.
Interest in the missing person case is resurrected over thirty years later
when an informant provides information that suggests foul play. By now the
mob associates are wildly prosperous thanks to a number of
business ventures, one of which involves cocaine trafficking with their
mentor, a notorious organized crime figure. As a way to
solve the case Markie puts into motion an undercover initiative that leads to
the infiltration of a drug enterprise that operates in New York and Las
Vegas. Markie comes to learn the significance behind an unusual wolf-head
ring as he begins to unravel the armory mystery. Aside from his investigative
challenges, Markie finds himself conflicted in his personal relationships
with the women in his life. Further complicating matters is the roguish
Fishnet Milligan, a recovering former detective who is in the process of
plotting shady dealings of his own. The Case of the One Eared Wolf involves a
series of twists and turns that often blurs the distinction between the good
guys and the bad guys. Buckle up and go along for the ride with Detective
Sergeant Al Markie and Detective Oliver Von Hess on their latest adventure in
the Sergeant Markie Mystery series. "Again,
the author uses his vast real life police experiences to grab any mystery
fan's attention and keep it. Fast reading. Outstanding character development
and out of left field twists and turns that gets the adrenalin flowing. This,
the third in the Sgt. Markie series, fits right in with the potential for
some excellent screenplays for a
Amazon Prime or Netflix series like "Bosch" or "Goliath."
Great stuff!! High recommended." Ernie "You
know who the bad guys are in this Sargent Markey mystery from the first
chapter. The mystery is how the NYPD can uncover and solve what appears to be
a perfect crime and bust multi State drug ring.
Colorful if not despicable organized crime figures give a true to life
glimpse into the psyche and warped minds of underworld thugs and their
hangers-on. Celano expertly knits together desperate events and
characters eventually unifying a tale of murder and intrigue revealing a
realistic view of the sordid world of illicit drugs and organized crime. A
good read by any standards." Phillip |
