Nagler is called to investigate the brutal attack on two women at the local college. It begins a tale of urban terror, much of which seems to be directed at Nagler and his associates.

DEADCOVER715 The story introduces the mysterious terrorist #ARMEGEDDON, who taunts the police from cyberspace.

The title comes from the students’ name for a video game that has taken on a real-world life.

 “The Swamps of Jersey” tells the story Ironton, N.J, Detective Frank Nagler, who must sort out the murder of a young woman, allegations of political corruption, a hint that the city’s famous serial killer may have a copycat, and the disappearance of his girlfriend. The story opens at the end of a weeklong tropical storm that wrecked the distressed city.

The third book in the series, “The Weight of Living,” will be published by Imzadi Publishing in early 2017.
