Death in Dyker Heights

About the Book

Hal Silver is back and he’s crankier than ever. But who can blame him? He’s been hired by a mob kingpin who wants him to find out who murdered his son Vinny Viano and he doesn’t have a clue where to start. And his only help is the dim witted gangster’s assistant whose only concern is how many pieces he wants to break Hal into should he fail to solve the case. Wandering the south Brooklyn streets of Dyker Heights, Hal meets neighborhood characters and cronies, babes and bumblers. No one has a bad thing to say about Vinny, but someone clearly didn’t like him as much he let on. And if Hal doesn’t find the killer soon, the next corpse may be his own.

About the Author

Mr. Saks lives in a cave of his own making somewhere deep in the county of Kings. His unrepentant Brooklyn accent marks him as an outcast whenever he wanders too far away from his lair. He only comes out occasionally on spring and summer evenings to cry over losses by his beloved Mets. During the rest of the year he cries for no apparent reason other than boredom.
