It was the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, the era of Model T Fords,
bootleggers and G-men. Spiritualism was all the rage. Everyone wanted to
talk to the dead. Except Dr. Alex Gabriel, who thought talking to the dead
was ridiculous. Until he met Savannah Bishop, the country’s most unique
medium. Using Savannah’s contacts with the World Beyond, Dr. Gabriel and
Miss Bishop set out to solve a series of brutal murders that range from the
glitz of Hollywood to the backwoods of Arkansas and eventually to the
bohemian Left Bank of Paris and finally to pre-Nazi Berlin.

Set in the summer of 1952, Deadline:New York centers on the emerging paperback book industry in New York City. The protagonist is a former Naval intelligence officer and best-selling writer of paperback adventure novels who is asked by a secretary at his publishing house to investigate the suicide of her boyfriend. At the heart of the investigation is a state senate hearing on obscenity in the paperback industry and a widespread conspiracy inside the United States government, law enforcement and America’s major corporations. Combining real historical figures with fictional ones, the story reveals some of the early growing pains of the paperback industry and offers an exciting confrontation between ordinary citizens and a murderous shadow government.

Excerpt
There was a dead body in the next room and it was my fault.
     For a while, I stayed in the room with the body. The TV set was on. President Clinton’s face filled the screen. He was taking questions from reporters and they seemed to be having a heated exchange. The sound on the TV was turned off.
     I couldn’t stop looking at the corpse. What had I done?
     When I couldn’t stand it anymore I went into the kitchen. My heart jumped around in my chest like it wanted to leap out and flop around on the floor.
     The cops were on their way. I thought about running but they’d find me. There was no escape. I had to face the music.
     I’d made a mess of my life in just two years. How was that possible?
