New from HPD Publishing:

How far would you go for revenge?

Sigsbee Manderson was the king of the South. A man who had it all: fancy cars, multiple homes, and a beautiful young wife. So what would make a man like that stroll into his back yard late one evening, put a gun to his head, and send himself off to the big sleep?

It was a case artist, reporter, and part-time detective Philip Trent didn't want to take. For he knew that Sigsbee Manderson was a man with few friends and far too many enemies. When the facts of the case turn from su***de to murder, Trent must wade through a list of suspects longer than his own arm. All while staying out of the enchanting grasp of the woman in black.

"The perfect story" ~ Raymond Chandler

"The finest detective story of modern times." ~ G.K. Chesterton (Father Brown mysteries)

We are very excited to announce that Paul W. Papa's newest book, Rossi's Risk, is now available in paperback!

Intrigue, Betrayal, Murder

The newest casino in Las Vegas, The Moulin Rouge, opens to a fanfare of excitement, that is, until one of its up and coming singers is found dead. All fingers point to a sax player in the band. The only problem—the singer is white and the sax player? Well, he is not, and in a town known as the Mississippi of the West, that does not bode well.

When Rossi agrees to look into the matter at the request of a friend, he becomes embroiled in a world where he doesn’t belong. One that could cost him his career, if not his very life! Ignoring all the warning signs—including pushback from the mob—Rossi finds out the hard way to beware of friends bearing gifts . . . or needing favors.

For a short time only, we're offing the book at a discount, but that will not last long. So click the link in the comments below and get yours before the price goes up!
