Jon Verdon's writing is mesmerizing. |
Retired NYPD homicide detective now living in upstate New York with his wife, Madeline. I don't know why he retired...very young...because all he really wants to do is solve mysteries. He's quite brilliant when it comes to solving any puzzling murder, although his wife is never very happy when he takes them on - after all, he's supposed to be retired!
1 - Think of a Number (2010) Mark Mellery, an old college friend of Dave Gurney, approaches him with a perplexing problem. He's been receiving threatening poems in the mail.....
2 - Shut Your Eyes Tight (2011) Beautiful Jillian Perry is discovered, by her new husband, decapitated at her own wedding reception. This one's a real puzzler...
3 - Let the Devil Sleep (2012) Gurney is talked into helping the daughter (Kim) of a friend as she prepares a tv show about families left behind after their loved ones are killed in unsolved murders.
4 - Peter Pan Must Die (2014) Gurney's annoying sometimes-sidekick, Jack Hardwick, pulls him into a murder that has already been "solved" - wrongly. Kay Spalter supposedly shot her husband, a senator-to-be, as he was about to give the eulogy at his mother's funeral.
