Harry's Last
John Robert Dixon
Willowtown, New Jersey, hadn't seen a murder in years. But on the night policeman Jimmy Evans found Harry Granger shot to death in his car down the road from his home, all that changed. As Harry's Last unfolds, you'll meet a cast a characters true to small-town America: a monthly meeting of old-time townies, a disgruntled attorney with a porn fetish, and a small-time mobster named (of course) Vinny; a retired journalist who orders her "famous, homemade" cheesecake from a magazine, an estranged sister of the deceased and her husband and her militia-minded husband, and a stubborn DA who philosophizes that murder is "always in the family."
"...he could see a man's body slumped sideways behind the wheel. Jimmy's first thought was heart attack, but then he saw the dark red blood blanketing the man's head and torso. Despite the blood, Jimmy could see enough to know it was Harry Granger, and that he was probably dead.
"'Jesus,' Jimmy whispered aloud, his heart pounding. It was his first encounter with a pristine murder scene."
Bio: John Robert Dixon was born in Akron, Ohio. Harry's Last is his first novel.
