Author, Richard Smiraldi, Releases Whodunit: Seven Murders In Sussex

Online, September 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - What would you do if your best friend, a Hollywood Superstar, came to visit you in your town and was murdered?

Richard Smiraldi, answers these questions and more in his debut mystery novel, Seven Murders In Sussex (252 pp., pb, $11.99).

REILLY SWANSON, a retired Playboy Bunny Mother and owner of The Black Hawk Inn in Sussex, was desperate to save her town from de-population and extinction. With nowhere else to turn, she wrote a letter to an old friend BEATRIZ (also a former Great Gorge Playboy Bunny), who had since become a star of Music Television and film. BEATRIZ arrived. Later she was found dead in her room at the Inn, murdered. Her estranged husband, Alexio Allesandro - a polo player from Paris, trailed her. His body is found the next day, hanging naked from the rafters of a barn with an alleged suicide note. The paparazzi reported the deaths as a tragic murder/suicide. Reilly doesn't believe it! Together with the town Sheriff, Joe and Doctor, Reilly searches to uncover the truth about the deaths. This book takes the reader from Sussex to Paris (through the tunnels across the Seine) to Manhattan and finally back to the lethal rural town of Sussex. Haunting, provocative and utterly unforgettable, Seven Murders In Sussex is both a unique, tantalizing mystery and a cautionary tale. With exquisite timing and masterly skill, Richard Smiraldi takes us on a journey into darkness and the struggles that war within each of us.
