Book Description
The death of Paco "Packy" Johnson shouldn't have surprised anyone. Paco Johnson spent a lifetime in the system -- starting in juvie at age 10, then prison for most of his adult life. But he managed to make some real friends in prison, friends who helped him get parole, a place to stay, and plans to help him adjust to a life outside prison after seventeen years behind bars. But only seventeen hours after he was released, he was found dead -- murdered -- in the streets of the Bronx. James Beck can't save Packy any longer -- but he can try to find out what happened to Packy, and why, and exact a measure of justice. Beck, ringleader of a tight clique of ex-cons based in Brooklyn's Red Hook section, is determined to accord Packy at least some dignity and a measure of justice. But what drove Packy out onto the streets of the Bronx his first night back? Who did he run into that hated him enough to viciously beat him before executing him, and yet left behind his wallet full of cash? But what at first appears to be a simple, if tragic, street killing, quickly becomes something much more difficult and complex. And it will take all the skills, connections, and cunning of Beck and his team not only to learn the truth but to survive the forces they've unwittingly unleashed.

Book Description
The crypt located on Row 2 Column 6 at Greenview Cemetery Mausoleum has been disintegrated. The coffin once interred inside the crypt now lies empty on the concrete floor of the vault. Its wood is cracked and shattered. The shredded satin lining of the coffin appears as though fingernails clawed through the fabric. The body of recently entombed Bradley Cavanaugh isn’t inside. Dead men can’t escape their graves and walk away, can they? Sheriff Nick Dunn of the Carter County Sheriff's Office doesn’t believe in the supernatural. He’s convinced the creepy incident is an act of vandalism carried out by a gang of juvenile delinquents. When the missing body fails to turn up in a search of the cemetery, Dunn opens his investigation into the macabre and bizarre case. Through Patrice Cavanaugh, widow of the deceased, and her sister, Gabby Morgan, Dunn learns that Bradley Cavanaugh was an aggressive, abusive alcoholic who had multiple enemies in life. Is it possible that one of them stole his body from the grave as retribution for the wrath and vicious behavior Cavanaugh subjected them to while he was still alive? Or was the body stolen for more sinister reasons by someone intending to use it to terrorize Patrice and drive her insane? As Dunn’s investigation brings him closer to the culprit behind the disappearance of Cavanaugh’s body, he realizes that Patrice is the one who’s in grave danger. Someone extremely close to her hated Bradley Cavanaugh passionately and swore the day would come when she’d get her revenge against him for destroying her life. Did that day finally arrive, and is Patrice an intended victim or only collateral damage? When Dunn encounters the horrific truth behind the body’s disappearance, the experience brings him face to face with unadulterated evil, and a realism that’s too unbelievable to be true.

Book Description
When a long-buried corpse is unearthed at the National Pictures Studio in Los Angeles, private investigator Rick Walker is called in to solve the thirty-year-old murder case. The white-haired chairman of the studio steps forward and commands everyone's attention. The cheerful executives jockey for position and the photographers take a few casual practice shots. The muslin cover is removed from the sign and flash-bulbs pop as the studio chairman announces future construction on this site--formerly Old Western Street--of a state-of-the-art film laboratory, to be the biggest and most advanced in Hollywood. The bystanders clap politely. The ceremonial shovel is handed to the chairman, and the photographers move around for better angles. The chairman sinks the long-handled shovel into the dark, soft earth and flash-bulbs pop again. The studio president takes his turn with the shovel. He is followed by a nervous dowager who struggles to lift a shovelful of earth from the deepening hole, then dumps it next to the growing pile of dirt. A large, gray-white object tumbles into the sunlight and the woman drops the shovel and screams. The reporters and photographers scramble forward to record the sudden turn of events.
