Advance Praise for Mike’s Upcoming Second Parker Noble Mystery . . .
End of the Line
“Mike Manno has given us a lot to like in End of the Line. A wonderful mystery, plenty of twists, it’s also a story filled with humor, human interest, and a cop-hero you’d love to swap stories with over a couple of beers — or some bad station house coffee.”
David J. Walker, Edgar-nominated author of the Mal Foley and Wild Onion, Ltd. Series. |

MAN FOUND SHOT, DEAD ON CITY BUS
By Frances Jean Coyle
LAKEVIEW – R. J. Butler, a well known local businessman, was found shot to death on a city transit bus Thursday night, according to Captain Tom Hendricks of the Lakeview Police Department.
Police said Butler was on his way to his suburban home after leaving his insurance office in downtown Capital City. Hendricks said Butler apparently was killed near the end of the line when most of the bus’ passengers had exited.
Hendricks declined to give further details, referring questions to Detective Sergeant Jerome Stankowski of the state police’s special investigations unit. He did, however, confirm that the attorney general’s office has been notified and will be sending a special investigator of its own to assist Stankowski.
Further information will be available in the second Parker Noble mystery, End of the Line, coming next spring from Five Star. Ask for it at your local library, bookstore, or on Amazon.com. |
