Sheldon Siegel recommends

Man-Killer (2024)
(Gina Cototi Cases, book 1)
Lawrence Kelter
"Outstanding! Gina Marie Cototi is a Brooklyn native, daughter of a cop, and a whip-smart, tough-as-nails PI who finds herself in the middle of a mob-connected nightmare after she recovers her father's stolen '63 Corvette. With assistance from her extended family, friends, and a handsome womanizer named Rocco Benelli, Gina takes on the Russian Mafia, a corrupt boxer, and the legal system in his tightly written, wickedly funny, and wildly entertaining tale. Gina is a character worth rooting for, and Lawrence Kelter is a talented writer. Highly recommended."

Rob Leininger
"Tightly plotted, deftly executed, wickedly funny, and wildly entertaining."

Copy Boy (2020)
(Jane Benjamin, book 1)
Shelley Blanton-Stroud
"A stellar debut. Copy Boy may be Shelley Blanton-Stroud's first novel, but it's apparent from page one that she's been working on her craft for many years. Combining the best elements of noir, historical fiction, and coming-of-age stories, Blanton-Stroud has written a compelling, nuanced story. Deftly plotted and expertly executed, Copy Boy is as mesmerizing as the moment when the fog lifts over Nob Hill. Highly recommended."

For those who love the San Francisco Bay Area, this novel shines like the sun breaking through the morning fog on a perfect San Francisco day. We will be hearing more from this talented newcomer."

Jake Longly is a character worth rooting for, and Lyle's fans will be cheering for an encore. Find a comfortable chair and plan to stay up late to enjoy the ride. Highly recommended."
