Something Of The Night

An unpublished manuscript threatens to ignite a scandal that could obliterate a small Catholic school on the Jersey Shore. Private investigator Riley King is tasked by an alluring female literary agent to find the author, who vanished shortly after submitting the work. Complicating matters is the menacing interference of the school's chief benefactor, a local businessman with suspected mob ties.

King, with the help of radio talk show host Rick Stone, uncovers a web of deception with bigger consequences, a budding conspiracy that could bring down the entire region. The suspense never stops, with twists lurking around every corner.
