novel out by way of Level Best Books. The “police procedural mystery” titled, The
Things That Aren't There: A Vic Lenoski Mystery is
available in print and digital formats from various vendors including Amazon.
Synopsis:
Detective Vic Lenoski of
the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has just been handed the biggest case of his
career, the vicious murder of a venture capitalist known for funding high-tech
and robotics start-up companies. But Vic, haunted by personal loss and hounded
by a commander who despises him, is unraveling fast. Worse, his investigation
soon uncovers major corruption among Pittsburgh’s star robotics entrepreneurs,
that the city’s gangsters have gone straight, and Vic’s commander and
colleagues are only interested in promotions, pensions, and pats on the back.
Just as the case and his career are on the verge of collapse, Vic struggles to
make sense of his work and life while uncovering a series of deeply buried
truths, and tracking a murderer who is desperate to kill again.
