New edition of DRAGONY RISING released

New covers, new editions: Frank Nagler is back.

DRAGONY RISING, Book 5 in the Frank Nagler Mystery series, has been re-released with a fresh new look, inside and out.

I started with DRAGONY RISING  to hitch a ride on two podcasts I did in recent months.

Coming  soon will be a reissue of THE SWAMPS OF JERSEY, followed by the other three books in the series,  clearing the way next year for Book 6: NAGLER’S SECRET.

Thanks to Elana Daigle – misselaneousart@gmail.com – for the new covers – and to author Reyna Favis – http://www.reynafavis.com – for their expertise and help prepping the manuscript.

The story of DRAGONY RISING:

Ironton, N.J. Detective  Frank Nagler climbs to a  high point above the burning, smoking downtown to ponder who would want to blow up the city.  And why is  a yellow kitchen chair resting on the roof  of the old theater? Did it get blown there during the explosion?
Or did someone place  it there to watch?

So opens “Dragony Rising,” Book Five in the  Frank Nagler Mystery series.

The mysteries tell the story  of an old industrial city, Ironton, N.J. and the investigations of native son Detective Frank Nagler. Both are trying to recover from damaged pasts.

“Dragony  Rising” introduces The Dragony, a slinky organization that has been curled at the edges of Ironton’s industrial history for years.  They seemed to have risen from nowhere as the city struggles to recover from the explosion.  But Frank Nagler learns they have been there all along, and believes he and his allies can brings them to justice.

But, as Dragony leader Randall McCarroll tells Nagler: “Don’t matter what you believe when it’s happenin’ right in front of you.”

Dig  into a story with as many layers and deceits as there are characters.

Strap in for a story with twists and turns; a story that  leaves the reader awake at 3 a.m. and breathless as events unfold.

A story that asks the question: What happens then you find out the explosion that levels two blocks of downtown is not the  worst thing that happens?
