Genre: Mystery
When One Man Dies (Jackson Donne #1)
A hit and run. Simple as that… And suddenly harmless old Gerry Figuroa is lying dead on the asphalt. New Jersey cop turned PI Jackson Donne sure as hell doesn’t want to investigate his drinking buddy’s death; but he’s made a promise that leaves him no choice. And before long, is drawing uncomfortably close to a murderer.
Meanwhile, an apparently routine divorce case takes a dangerous turn, and sinister connections to Gerry’s death start to emerge. Just when it seems things can’t get any worse, Donne learns that a bitter old enemy is mixed up in the whole mess. Bill Martin, his ex–Narcotics Department partner, has secrets to expose that could reopen the still-aching wounds of Donne’s past. Permanently.
Donne would like nothing better than to crawl back into a bottle and forget he ever heard Gerry Figuroa’s name, but it is too late for that. Now in way too deep, he has become entangled in a plot whose tendrils reach far into his town’s past — and his own.
The Evil That Men Do (Jackson Donne #2)
Even generations later, you can’t escape … the evil that men do.
Stripped of his private investigator’s license and slumming it as a night security guard at a Jersey storage facility, Jackson Donne thinks he has finally hit rock bottom. Then the bottom really falls out: The sister he hasn’t seen in years shows up, needing help.
Turns out Donne’s Alzheimer’s-stricken mother has begun hinting at long-buried family secrets from her hospital bed, suggesting a sinister – even murderous – past. Meanwhile, Donne’s relatives are suddenly being greeted by blackmail, car bombs, and bullets to the back of the skull.
All Donne wants is to disappear – preferably into a nice frosty pint glass – but he soon realizes that his only chance at saving his family, and himself, is by solving a mystery more than sixty years old. Now he needs to figure out how a hit man, crooked cops, corrupt politics, a kidnapping, and the city of Bayonne all fit together. He’ll discover that old family secrets still have the power to kill in this razor-sharp PI story that makes classic noir new again.
