A collection of three ebooks in the Elder Darrow Mystery series—In Solo Time, Solo Act, and Burton’s Solo—featuring Boston’s favorite bar owner and sleuth. In Solo Time Elder Darrow uses the last of his trust fund money to buy the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar in Boston. But before he can turn the place around, the body of a jazz guitar player shows up on the club’s stage. When Elder’s drinking partner turns up dead after being suspected of the murder, he’s drawn into the unraveling of a political conspiracy. Solo Act When Elder hears that his ex-lover, jazz singer Alison Somers, has killed herself in New York, he encounters a beautiful collector of jazz memorabilia, a Native American gangster with aspirations to management, and a bomb-throwing piano player while trying to uncover the real story . . . Burton’s Solo Elder Darrow’s best friend, homicide detective Dan Burton, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a clothing designer. Elder hides him in the old family place in New Hampshire, while they expose an evil scheme by which illegal immigrants were effectively enslaved to work in sweat shops—and prove Burton’s innocence. Praise for Richard Cass and the Elder Darrow Mysteries “Richard Cass writes the kind of mysteries I first fell in love with—clever, twisty, and brimming with characters as colorful as they are well-drawn.”—Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of Michael Hendricks Novels “Cass’s version of noir Boston is dark and beautiful as a back alley after a morning rain.”—Gerry Boyle, author of the Jack McMorrow Mysteries
Syndicated columnist, Harry Ellison, who lives with Sergeant Debbie Simmons of the Washington, D. C. Metropolitan Police Department, has a penchant for becoming involved in unusual murder mysteries. But, the case that began with a telephone call from his niece, Stephanie, a doctoral student in music, may be the most bizzare case of all. Recently returned from Vienna where she was doing research on her doctoral dissertation on Franz Schubert, Stephanie finds herself stalked by a person, unknown, while working in the Library of Congress. The person leaves her fragments of musical notation that appear to be the missing part of an unfinished Schubert composition. The music is unmistakably Schuberts in style, but is it authentic or the opening gambit in an elaborate scam? And, how do these musical fragments relate to the unexplained deaths of three renowned Schubert scholars? When Harry and Debbie begin their investigation, they encounter deception, danger, and ultimately must match wits with a diabolical killer.
It doesn’t have to be the dark of a rainy night for it to be noir. It doesn’t have to be shadowy rooms of Venetian blinds. It doesn’t even have to be a femme fatale. Noir is somebody tripping over their own faults, somebody who has an Achilles heel, some kind of greed, or want or desire that leads them down a dark path, from which there is sometimes no return. No one is safe. There’s no place to hide in this collection of twelve stories from the dark side of the American Dream. Stories of noir from Coast to Coast.
