(2026)(A book in the Harry Starke series)
An omnibus of novels by Blair Howard
Five Harry Starke cases. Murder, mobsters and a past that won't stay buried.
Hard-boiled detective fiction with twists you won't see coming, from Amazon bestselling author Blair Howard.
Private investigator Harry Starke never walks away from a case that doesn't add up, even when it takes him from a quiet suburban pool to the seedy side of New York City, and even when it costs him dearly. Here are five of his most dangerous investigations in one volume.
Book 21: Dead Pool Hattie Baker, a socialite and an excellent swimmer, is found dead in her pool in Hilden Heights. The death is ruled an accident, but her boyfriend is sure it was murder, and she wasn't the first. Was Hattie the victim of a serial killer? Harry's search for the truth almost costs him his life.
Book 22: Subterfuge What happened to Gavin Glassdon? A missing person, two murders, an enigmatic Irishman and a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme bring Harry, Captain Kate Gazzara and her K9 companion Samson together again in a bewildering thriller set in New York City.
Book 23: Duplicity Sometimes a city needs a ruthless detective willing to cross the line. Finn Doyle, son of a convicted Ponzi schemer and tied to the Irish mob, hires Harry to find a missing friend. Harry says no, then curiosity gets the better of him. Soon he's back in New York, following a trail of bodies and misinformation.
Book 24: Unfinished Business Twenty-one years ago, Harry put David Archer away for murder. Now Archer claims he has an alibi, and Harry's gut says the original case never added up. As he reopens the one case he thought was behind him, he learns that someone will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried.
Book 25: The Inheritance Walter Brennan is convinced someone is poisoning him. His family says he's paranoid. Then he leaves his $80 million estate to his young live-in caregiver, and his daughter hires Harry. What he finds is a pattern of elderly victims and a caregiver who always walks away with the money. If Walter is right, someone is slowly killing him. If he's wrong, he may be losing his mind.
