Genre: Mystery
"Mystery series starring handsome undertaker-sleuth Hitchcock Sewell … offering a thoroughly amiable mix of comedy, murder, and mortician mayhem —Booklist
“Cockey’s contribution to the genre has less to do with his hero’s career…than with his wit, which is ceaseless, remorseless and fun….Hitch is a great voice, his Baltimore a trippy city to wander, and his friends a wonderfully sorry lot to spend 300 pages with.” —Washington Post
“No cheap gimmicks, nothing ostentatious, just class all the way.” —New York Times
The Hearse You Came in On (2000) –
Introducing a clever and gripping first mystery novel featuring an unconventional undertaker — who also happens to be one of Baltimore’s most eligible and charming bachelors.
What self-respecting undertaker would allow himself to get involved in a murder investigation, a series of dirty videos, a case of political blackmail, and police corruption, as well as one of the worst amateur theater productions in recent memory? None, unless your name happens to be Hitchcock Sewell, the most charming suspense hero to come along in years. And who knew an undertaker could look so good? In this fast-paced and enormously entertaining mystery, Hitch has gotten himself into more trouble than any self-respecting undertaker should. This funny, offbeat new mystery series is bound to delight fans of Elmore Leonard and Janet Evanovich.
Hearse of a Different Color (2001) –
Hitchcock Sewell, Baltimore’s hippest undertaker and civilian sleuth, is back in a second sly, original mystery.
One of the most charming and offbeat amateur detectives to come around in years, Hitchcock Sewell does for the undertaking profession what Marilyn Monroe did for the ukulele–gives it a touch of class. In this rollicking follow-up to Tim Cockey’s "witty, punchy, snappy, well-written, and dang funny debut" (Harlan Coben, author of The Final Detail), a surprise blizzard dumps more than snow on the steps of Sewell & Sons funeral home–it leaves behind the corpse of a murdered waitress as well. Hitch’s television meteorologist girlfriend sees the crime as an opportunity to move into hard news. Her unctuous mentor wants to beat Hitch to the punch. Hitch’s snooping takes him from low-life strip joints to high-tone mansions, proving yet again that undertakers and their clue-happy cohorts can be a pretty lively bunch.
The Hearse Case Scenario (2002) –
Cockey’s new mystery finds Hitch up to his ears in murders, and the latest clues point to a Baltimore nightclub. Following his nose, Hitch uncovers a host of nefarious goings-on as well as some downright strange characters, including a felonious artist, a Miles Davis wanna-be, an Ida Lupino look-alike, and one very irritated dance instructor. Put them all together, throw in a bag full of cash and an incriminating Polaroid, and you have another surefire, humor-laced hit from one of the freshest voices writing in the mystery world today.
Murder in the Hearse Degree (2003) –
"Hitchcock Sewell really should know better by now. His job as an undertaker is to bury people, not to go snooping into the reasons why they’ve ended up on his slab. But then again, if Hitch didn’t stick his nose where it doesn’t belong, he just wouldn’t be Hitch – and readers would be robbed of the latest installment in one of the most talked-about new mystery series to come along in years." This time out, Baltimore’s most eligible mortician is taking up the cause of a former flame whose young nanny has just been fished out of the Severn River, near Annapolis. The police are calling it suicide, but Hitch isn’t buying it. And it’s more than just the cause of death that Hitch finds suspicious. A felonious former governor of Kentucky; a tainted right-wing religious organization; a really, really bad actor; and a dogged tabloid journalist with more interest in chasing down Hitch’s luscious ex-wife Julia than in chasing down the story all fall into Hitchcock’s path as he attempts to sort out the truth behind what really happened to the nanny.
Backstabber (2004) –
He’s suave, he’s sexy, he’s cool . . . and he’s an undertaker. Hitchcock Sewell is back in one of the funniest and most fast-paced novels yet, in Tim Cockey’s celebrated award-winning series.
A man has been murdered in his kitchen. And the apparent killer wants Hitch to scoop up the body and take it away . . . before the police have arrived. Meanwhile, across town, Hitch smells a rat–maybe two–in the nursing home where an old friend of his has taken up residence. With his matchless wit and uncommon ability to dig out the truth, Hitch is once again up to his old tricks . . . and mystery readers couldn’t be happier.
