THE CASE
OF TOO MANY WIVES A SERGEANT
MARKIE MYSTERY Henry Harrison Blount, AKA: the Professor,
is a bigamist and a murderer who owns a used bookshop in Manhattan. After acquiring
wealth beyond his wildest dreams thanks to a winning lottery ticket, he
expands his business and acquires a second bookshop in Philadelphia, where he
subsequently meets a woman and marries for a second time. Successfully
juggling two marriages in two states, things are going well enough for him to
consider opening a third bookshop in Arizona, where he has a potential third
wife lined up. Things take a turn for the worse when the Professor finds
himself on a desolate Manhattan subway platform late one evening being
extorted by an off-duty Philadelphia police officer. The officer is the lover
of his second wife. In answer to being shook down the Professor murders the
off- duty Philadelphia policeman in the presence of a visually challenged
woman on her way home from work. The notoriety of this homicide is cause for
Detective Sergeant Al Markie and Detective Oliver Von Hess to be assigned to
help investigate the murder. In the course of their
investigation, they are destined to cross paths with Markie's old nemesis,
the retired detective Fishnet Milligan. When Fishnet's new wife, a Broadway
stage star, and her agent turn up dead in a Pennsylvania quarry, Markie
suspects the ex-detective of foul play. Adding to complicate
Markie's life is a murderous stalker known as Little Creepy, who has designs
on the sergeant's girlfriend Alley. This offering is a story comprised of
bigamous relationships, murders, betrayals, and greed. Join Markie and Von
Hess as they chase down leads in their journey to unravel their latest
adventure in this fourth novel in the Sergeant Markie Mystery series. This
tale is sure not to disappoint Markie fans. "The
bigamist and his wives are just one of the stories happening in this book!
Fishnet, an unforgettable, mentally unstable chameleon from book one is back
to create more dire outcomes for those who become his prey. And there are
other unique, complex characters and crimes abounding. This book has many
twists and turns, and the reader will be caught off guard by some of the
events toward the end. I highly recommend Book #4, and I await Book #5. I
hope the author is busy writing it!" Christina "This
one knocks it out of the park. The development of the characters throughout
the book series is flawless. I had a hard time putting the book down with all
the twists and turns. Great story, great read. Tony Celano is proving himself
to be an author worth reading. Anyone who enjoys NY police mystery stories
MUST read this series." Len |
