TWO RHODE KILLS

A Two-Volume Mystery Omnibus, Formerly RHODE KILLS

By: Lawrence De Maria

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two thrilling mysteries by a Pulitzer nominee! *** “IF YOU LIKE STRONG CHARACTERIZATIONS, GREAT DIALOGUE AND SURPRISES, PULITZER-NOMINEE LAWRENCE DE MARIA’S ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES ARE IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES.” (John Crudele, New York Post); “A LAWRENCE DE MARIA TITLE GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BOOK MARKETPLACE TODAY.” (Florida Weekly); “A MASTER OF THRILLER DIALOGUE.” (Washington Independent Review of Books); “WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL.” *** SISTER Was the nun’s murder random? Part of a serial-killing spree? Or tied to something in her past? For Sister Veronica, a revered educator, had quite a past. Which brings two Massachusetts cops to the New York office of Alton Rhode. For he is part of Ronnie Frost’s past. Quickly cleared as a suspect, but plagued by long-suppressed memories, Rhode travels the country seeking the suspects, clues and motive the police have missed. "Very enjoyable. This is exactly the style book I enjoy, good old detective work." (Five-Star Amazon Review) *** GUNNER The brutal murder of an elderly Medal of Honor winner from the Vietnam War has unintended consequences. The hired killer, himself a proud veteran of more-recent American wars, feels betrayed by the people who paid him. He wants to settle the score. But there is a problem. The assassin, kept in the dark about his target, has no way of finding out who ordered the hit. But he knows someone who can. Someone he has trusted with his life in the past. Someone with a reputation for doing the impossible. His old skipper, Alton Rhode. “De Maria’s latest mystery proves that patriotism can come in many forms, not all of them pretty. GUNNER delivers a wallop!” (John Crudele, NEW YORK POST) *** “What is really almost beyond belief is how easily De Maria has transitioned from the dry world of financial reporting to the wild and lavish world of novel writing.” (COLLIER CITIZEN)
