Produktbeschreibung

Crime and fantasy mixed! Murder, mobsters, mayhem, mystery and romance abound in a historic, glorious and grand hotel and resort in a city on the shoreline of New Jersey. The dashing and courageous, ex- U.S. Marine Corps sniper, Jimmy Reeves, teams up with a wily detective and the quiet stranger, in a heart-racing showdown between good and evil. Just to add to the excitement, Jimmy manages to fall in love along the way. When a wily homicide detective investigates a mob-style murder and realizes that his police department is full of corruption and littered with crooked police officers receiving illegal payoffs from the local mob, he appeals for help to an old family friend, the hard-boiled and no nonsense, crime fighting, State of New Jersey Attorney General, Charles "Chuck" McCracken. When the cagey, old, attorney general hears that his old friend and ally, the mysterious, dark stranger dressed in black has arrived on the scene and assisted the detective in his investigation, then Chuck McCracken knows some serious evil lurks within Clinton City, New Jersey. Chuck knows that there is only one man for this job. He recruits his loyal and faithful bodyguard, and professional assassin and assistant, James "Jimmy" Reeves, and he sends Jimmy in to assist and protect the detective and to dig in where others fear to tread. Jimmy finds that hidden behind the grand exterior of the exclusive, world-class hotel and resort, known as Casa Al Mare, is an interior full of evil, danger and deception. What Jimmy Reeves does not count on is falling in love along the way, and that behind the scenes; two gorgeous women compete for the heart of the dashing and courageous Jimmy Reeves. Will Jimmy and the good detective solve the murder and end the grip of evil that has stretched across and enveloped the old city? Or will the mobsters kill Jimmy and the detective and continue their reign of terror? Which of the two gorgeous women will Jimmy give his heart to forever? Will the mysterious, dark and Quiet Stranger in the Black Hat arrive just in time to save the day? It will be an edge of your seat, page-turner for the reader, as Jimmy outruns the evil, and he races to protect his women as well as the good detective and the race ends in a final showdown! Casa Al Mare is the master storyteller, Paul John Hausleben's masterpiece of crime-fantasy mixed with romance and fantasy. Add to the story, the popular quiet stranger in the black hat character and his usual cast of remarkable characters, and this novel is sure to delight readers familiar with his past work as well as new readers too!

Autorenporträt

Way back in time, when the dinosaurs first died off, at the ripe old age of sixteen, Paul John Hausleben, wrote three stories for a creative writing class in high school. Enrolled in a vocational school, and immersed in trade courses and apprenticeship, left little time for writing ventures but PJH wrote three exceptional and entertaining stories. Paul John Hausleben's stories caught the eye of two English teachers in the college-preparatory academic programs and they pulled the author out of his basic courses and plopped him in advanced English and writing courses. One of the English teachers had immense faith in Paul's talents, and she took PJH's stories, helped him brush them up and submitted them to a periodical for publication. To PJH's astonishment, the periodical published all three of the stories and sent him a royalty check for fifty dollars and . . . that was it. PJH did not write anymore because life got in his way. Fast forward to 2009 and while living on the road in Atlanta, Georgia (and struggling to communicate with the locals who did not speak New Jersey) for his full-time job, PJH took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite PJH once more. He recalled those old stories and found the old manuscripts hiding in a dusty box. After some doodling around with them, PJH decided to revisit them. Two stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. The other story became the anchor story for the collection known as, The Christmas Tree and Other Christmas Stories, Tales for a Christmas Evening. Now, many years and over thirty-five published works later, along with countless blogs and other work, PJH continues to write. Where and when it stops, only the author really knows.

On the other hand, does he really know?

If you ask Paul John Hausleben, he will tell you that he is not an author, he is just a storyteller. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator.
