Overview: Lawrence De Maria began his career as a general interest reporter (winning an Associated Press award for his crime reporting) and eventually became a Pulitzer-nominated senior editor and financial writer The New York Times, where he wrote hundreds of stories and features, often on Page 1. After he left the Times, De Maria became an Executive Director at Forbes. Following a stint in corporate America – during which he helped uncover the $7 billion Allen Stanford Ponzi scheme and was widely quoted in the national media – he returned to journalism as Managing Editor of the Naples Sun Times, a Florida weekly, until its sale to the Scripps chain in 2007. Since then, he has been a full-time fiction writer. De Maria is on the board of directors of the Washington Independent Review of Books, where he writes a regular column.
Genre: Mystery
#3. Siren’s Tears: The death of a spider monkey in a South American rain forest is the prelude to a series of apparently unsolvable human murders in Canada and the United States.
Only when private investigator Alton Rhode is approached by an elderly Catholic priest who may know more than he lets on does the killer have anything to worry about. Nagged by doubts about the priest’s story, but urged on by an unlikely underworld ally, Rhode starts to piece together the mystery. His hunt for the truth spans thousands of miles and makes him a target of a diabolical killer who uses sex to seek perverted revenge.
#4. Sister: A murder in Massachusetts brings two homicide detectives to Alton Rhode’s New York office.
They quickly rule him out as a suspect. But what they tell the private investigator shocks him to the core, reviving long-suppressed memories of love lost. There is no way he can let it alone, especially since the cops admit they are getting nowhere.
Was the killing random? Or part of a series of murders? Rhode sets out on a cross-country hunt that eventually brings him face-to-face with a monstrous truth – and evil.
#7. Turtle Dove: With “Turtle Dove”, the author the prestigious Washington Independent Review of Books calls “a master of thriller dialogue” has penned another terrific mystery.
Private eye Alton Rhode has been asked to give away the bride at a “destination wedding” on remote Bald Head Island.
It is a weird situation, given the fact that the bride once worked for people trying to kill him!
But Rhode decides to make the best of it. He and his lady love, the beautiful Alice Watts, turn the occasion into a week-long vacation at the exclusive resort off the coast of North Carolina.
Taking a break from the wedding festivities, Alton and Alice attend a luncheon honoring the island’s most-famous resident, the elderly and reclusive Ashleigh Harper, whose first and only novel is a touchstone of American literature, having inspired a generation of America’s youth with its ecological message.
That is when things really become weird!
Rhode is soon involved in a plot that will stun the literary world.
The bodies pile up on peaceful Bald Head, where the only previous murder occurred almost five centuries earlier!
And before he solves the case, Rhode finds himself the target of a cold-blooded temptress and her maniac lover, who feeds his victims to sharks!
