DRAGONY RISING was also awarded First place for Mysteries in the 2022 Royal Dragonfly Indie Book Awards. And named a NOTABLE 100 Indie Book in the 2022 Shelf Unbound book awards.
DRAGONY RISING asks the question: What happens when Ironton, N.J. Detective Frank Nagler discovers that the explosion that levels part of downtown is not the worst this to happen?
The story, told at page-turning pace with hairpin turns and revelations, delves deeply into the history of the old manufacturing city and forces Nagler to examine the history of his own family.
Reviewers say:
The author is an exceptional writer – inventive with words, fresh with his storyline, and in presenting a variety of characters to love and hate.
I find myself bored easily with most of the new books erupting daily, but Michael Stephen Daigle knows what he is doing and is up to the task. His stories capture me, entertain and challenge me, and leave me wanting just one more of his books each time I finish one.
This was such a thrill! A great detective story that made me not want to put the book down!
If you’ve ever found yourself browsing the thriller section on a bit of a book binge I can relate to you. I got sold on this book purely based off the cover and a couple paragraphs of the description. After I inhaled this book over the weekend I realized I made an error jumping into the 5th book of the series (by accident) – No regrets!
Available at Book and Puppet, downtown Easton, Pa.
