The Frank Nagler Mysteries:
“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.
“A Game Called Dead,” is the sequel to “The Swamps of Jersey,” the first Frank Nagler Mystery.
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.
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.
It was named a Runner-Up in the Shelf Unbound 2016 Best Indie Book contest.
“The Weight of Living,” features Nagler’s search for the name and background of a young girl discovered alone in grocery store Dumpster on a cold March night The search leads to a dark family past and death. It also puts Nagler in contact with the manipulative force behind the family’s story, and places Nagler and his close circle in grave danger.
“I tried to imagine as evil a villain as I could, which resulted in finding some of the most damaged characters I have ever created. Nagler’s search is not just for a criminal, but for peace for his victims.”
“The Weight of Living” was awarded FIRST PLACE for Mysteries in the 2017 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards.
