Richard Smiraldi, Mystery Writer Is Featured At Dorothy E. Henry Library, Vernon, New Jersey

Online, November 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - This month, Richard Smiraldi, Author of Seven Murders In Sussex is one of the authors who's book is featured at The Dorothy Henry Library in the northwestern town of Vernon, New Jersey - not surprisingly near the former Playboy Club. Inside the glass display case are several books with blurbs about the author, but don't look for Mr. Smiraldi's book there!!! The head librarian tells us that they haven't been able to keep a copy in the library since it was first stocked on the shelves!

What is the book about? The protagonist, Reilly Swanson, a retired Playboy Bunny and owner of The Black Hawk Inn in Sussex, NJ , and 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.

Richard Smiraldi is a locally born writer who grew up in the foothills of Sussex. He studied English Literature at The King's College. He is currently editing his second mystery novel.
