    About this series

    In this “gripping mystery”from the author of Closing Time, New York City PI Terry Orr finally confronts the madman who murdered his wife and son (Providence Journal-Bulletin).
     
    Terry Orr has taken on his share of baffling cases—but he’s never worked for a dead man. When his friend Leo Mallard passes away, his last request is for Terry to track down his duplicitous ex-wife who stole the profits from the restaurant they owned together. But as much as Terry wants to honor his friend’s request, all his concerns are about to be overshadowed by a shocking discovery.
     
    Terry has just found Raymond Montgomery Weisz—the man who killed his wife and son. Finally, he will have his vengeance. But what he learns about that fatal day is far from what he ever expected—and Terry must decide if the truth he’s been searching for is worth destroying the life he’s spent so long rebuilding . . .
     
    Written with “poetic intensity,” this is a hard-hitting, heartbreaking story of obsession, redemption, and revenge that will keep murder mystery fans riveted (Kirkus Reviews).

    Tribeca Blues is the 3rd book in the Terry Orr Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      This “dead perfect” noir-inflected murder mystery carries readers from New York City’s most elite precincts to its dirtiest gutters (Robert B. Parker).   Two years ago, writer Terry Orr lost his wife and infant son when a lunatic pushed them into the path of a subway train. Dissatisfied with the police response, he’s been looking for the killer himself ever since. Somewhere along the way, while raising his precocious daughter and continuing his search, he also becomes a legitimate private eye.   First, Terry encounters the brutal murder of a livery cab driver, which he’s determined to solve. Then, he’s drawn into the world of high art and ruthless ambition after a SoHo gallery is destroyed by a bomb blast. And when the two cases collide, Terry might be fatally out of his depth . . .   Wall Street Journal writer Jim Fusilli exploded onto the mystery scene with this debut novel hailed as “a gorgeous nightmare” (The New York Times Book Review). Closing Time is the 1st book in the Terry Orr Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
