NEW novel by O'Neil De Noux just published.
GILDED TIME
A novel of the Gilded Age

Mark Twain called it The Gilded Age, those years after the Civil War to the end of the 19th Century. It was a time of great prosperity and great poverty, a time of great opportunities and social unrest. Not a golden time but an era covered in a golden shell – gilded.

On a dark night in Noressex, New York, Police Detective Mike Labruzzo comes to the aid of Matthew Den Helder, the injured son of the wealthy Den Helder family. This brief interaction leads to a series of encounters between the son of immigrants and one of the founding families of Noressex during the tumultuous Gilded Age. This epic historical novel follows the Den Helders – Matthew and his twin sister Elspeth and their sister Alicia through a pivotal summer in their lives as Mike Labruzzo struggles with the death of his wife and raising his 4-year old daughter while working the mean streets in a tough urban environment.

THE SPY WHO USED MY LOVE

The wife of an old army buddy hires New Orleans Private Eye Lucien Caye.

The confusing case draws in the FBI and CIA as Lucien is interrupted by another friend who found $20,000 hidden in a window seat of his apartment and a strange man who hires Lucien to investigate the growing Beat Generation in New Orleans as well as a nudist colony across Lake Pontchartrain. Lucien and his alluring wife, the exquisite Alizée – now a PI – need all their moxie to sift through these cases before someone else dies.

Someone using the moniker of a murdered Mafia figure is trying to extort money from the archdiocese of New Orleans. The archbishop worries La Cosa Nostra could be behind the vandalisms of churches and Catholic schools. NOPD Chief Inspector John Raven Beau thinks this unlikely and leads his Critical Investigations Unit in pursuit of the extortionist. If LCN is not involved why are Italian gangsters shadowing Beau and girlfriend Jessie Carini, a former private eye, now a bank executive who uncovers suspicious banking activity between Mafia families in New Orleans, Kansas City, Miami and Mississippi, which includes the Mafia Aphrodite herself, deadly-gorgeous Lucy Incanto?

Extortion is just the beginning as heavily-armed men try to assassinate The Great Beau and Jessie, who has a moniker of her own – Maneater. This Sicilian-American beauty is as lethal as her boyfriend.
