    About this ebook

    Gordon Seegerman is a reluctant public defender by day and the Barry-obsessed singer in a Manilow cover band by night. When a routine misdemeanor case exposes corruption among his city's most prominent citizens, Seegerman finds himself having to act like a real lawyer for the first time in his life. Irresistible and irreverent, Misdemeanor Man will have you on the edge of your seat, rooting for the underdog and believing in the magic of Manilow.

      To say that the inspiration for my third whodunit, Murder on Lake Garda, came unexpectedly wouldn’t quite be doing it justice. When I first happened on the seed of an idea, I was actually well into working on a completely different novel, involving a

      A must for any Fanilow. This story follows a detective/lawyer who balances working his day job along with being the lead man of a Barry Manilow cover band that is set to play a gig that Barry may attend himself. You wonder constantly what could possibly happen to keep him from meeting the man himself and the conflicts just keep arising.
