OF THE CROSSEYED STRANGLER A SERGEANT
MARKIE MYSTERY Everett Skidmore, a high school science teacher, is a delusional transvestite on a killing spree. The teacher is plagued by a transitory ocular deficiency that causes his eyes to grossly cross whenever in contact with his demon neighbor, an elderly woman who traumatized him in his youth. Long tormented by her voice, things begin to unravel for Everett when the old woman begins surfacing in the form of others. Everett rids himself of these apparitions by strangulation. Among his victims are his mother's physician, an East Harlem spinster, an attractive real estate agent, a snoopy landlady and an usherette employed at a Broadway theater. As the body count mounts, so does the pressure on the police brass. Word soon trickles down these inexplicable murders must stop before the public is made aware that there is a serial killer on the loose in New York City. Sgt. Markie, transferred to the newly formed Strangler Task Force, is the investigator charged with solving these homicides. Walk with Markie as he undauntedly digs into each murder in an effort to unravel the mystery of Everett Skidmore. Spend time with a demented psychopath and share the horrific experience of being a terrified crime victim. This read will take you on a journey into a world where few would dare to venture. "I
think that Anthony Celano has not only mastered the art of writing
powerful, engaging mysteries, but he may well prove to be the
James M. Cain of the 21st Century. I look forward to his next
book." Jeffrey "Full
of insight into the daily grind at your local precinct and within the
detective squad itself. Amazing character and personality development - from
the shady characters living next door to you, up to Sergeant Markie and the
team he commands to solve the crime. Thoroughly captivating, by the end of
the novel you have witnessed the good, the bad and the ugly. I am looking
forward to reading more escapades of this entertaining crew and hope to solve
more cases with them. Once you read it, you will be hooked" Margaret |
