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 |
