Book Description
Former Irish mafia hitman Brock Sheehan lives quietly on a boat fifty miles from Cleveland. His “retirement” angered the mob boss and his former job caused the Sheehan family to disown him. But when his long-lost nephew, Linus Callahan, tracks him down and asks him for assistance, he agrees to help. A few days earlier, the nephew got into a push-and-shove bar argument with a multimillion-dollar basketball player just released from prison for running a high-level dog-fighting ring. Then the athlete is murdered, and Linus becomes the Cleveland police department’s “person of interest.” So while Brock Sheehan asks questions regarding the illegal dogfight community, the athlete’s crazed fans subject him and his live-in girlfriend to a beating, and rapes one of his co-workers at the local animal shelter. In his travels all over NE Ohio, Brock finds himself in Youngstown where he discovers the woman he’s loved all his life, Arizona Skye, who walked out on him years ago and disappeared because of his violent profession. Now she works as a TV news reporter in Youngstown and he hopes to somehow rekindle that love from ten years ago. Investigating the athlete’s former dogfight ring, Brock gets most unpleasant with the remaining partner—and winds up with a pit bull of his own, which he names Conor, after an Irish saint. And eventually, with Conor’s instincts, he discovers and turns over to the police the real killer of the dog-killer turned sports legend.

Book Description
Homicide detective Joe Hampton and his wife, Joyce, had planned to move to Clearwater Beach, Florida, once he retired from the Philadelphia Police Department. After Joyce unexpectedly passes away, Joe goes ahead with the move. Once he’s settled into the Crimson Conch condominiums, his hopes of starting over again are realized—until a series of murders upends his plans for a peaceful retirement. The Gray Detective After a night of Bingo, Joe discovers a body in the channel behind the condominiums. When Detectives Carly Truffant and David Sizemore arrive to investigate, Joe gives them his account of the discovery. Joe is summoned to the police station days later at the request of the prime suspect, Gary Burgess, the condo maintenance man. Burgess admits to having sexual encounters with the victim and other female residents and begs Joe for help. Joe’s curiosity pushes him to investigate the matter, prompting Truffant to order him not to interfere. After finding Burgess dead by the pool after his release, and later learning of another murder, Joe uncovers a secret circle comprised of residents. Their purpose is not only illegal but deadly. Dark Arrival Joe has acquired the position of building manager and meets Veronica Combes, a tough talking, no-nonsense woman looking for a condo in the Crimson Conch. Still missing his wife, he finds comfort in their relationship though her manner is gruff. When a pair of residents are murdered, Joe encounters Truffant and Sizemore once more. Joe’s exemplary career as a homicide detective persuades them to enlist his services. The arrival of Victoria’s daughter provides Joe with a welcome diversion from the difficult investigation. After another murder, Truffant and Sizemore conclude that a connection to the other murders exists. What isn’t apparent is how close Joe is to the killer. Deadly Separation Joe agrees to help Truffant as she struggles with a divorce. Trouble arrives when Sizemore calls and tells Joe that Truffant’s soon to be ex-husband has been found dead in a Dunedin townhouse. And worse, Truffant is considered the leading suspect. Truffant’s troubles worsen when a woman is murdered and evidence proves she had an affair with her husband. Joe gets sidetracked by the arrival of his former neighbors from Philadelphia. When both are murdered, a man named Rogan Cavanaugh enters the picture. Joe discovers that Cavanaugh could be involved in the murder of his friends—plus the death of Truffant’s husband’s lover—and the mind game between the two begins.

Book Description
After twenty-five years in prison for murdering a couple of cheerleaders, a quarterback, and the class president, “Hackin’” Howard Rheinhart gets discharged. His case is assigned to Schlitz-drinking, Elvis-loving social worker and pro boxer Duffy Dombrowski. Soon, local high-school VIPs start showing up dead and Howard is nowhere to be found. Duffy throws himself into Howard’s defense while juggling a few problems of his own―like a huge upcoming boxing match, a new hormonal girlfriend, the unsolicited devotion of a goofy karate kid, and the ongoing misadventures of Al, Duffy’s basset hound. Praise for TKO: “Fresh, intense and funny, Schreck’s second mystery to feature unrepentant Elvis fan and dog lover Duffy Dombrowski packs a knockout punch.” —Publishers Weekly “Refreshingly iconoclastic.” —Kirkus Reviews “TKO is fast-paced, authentic, and funny as hell. Social worker and journeyman boxer Duffy Dombrowski is a workingman’s hero, and I want him in my corner!” —Sean Chercover, author of Trinity Game “Not for the faint of heart, I doesn’t let up. No holds barred, insightful characterization makes this series a stand-out.” —Mystery Reader “No sophomore slump here. I am now really excited about the planned continuation of this series. Hand me another Schlitz, would you.” —Book Bitch
