A NEW PROSPECT

A full-length Sam Jenkins Novel. Published in trade paperback format.
REAL BOOK. Real cover. Real pages.
Available January 20, 2011

Sam Jenkins never thought about being a fish out of water during the twenty years he spent solving crimes in New York. But things change, and after retiring to Tennessee, he gets that feeling. Jenkins becomes a cop again and is thrown headlong into a murder investigation and a steaming kettle of fish, down-home style.

The victim, Cecil Lovejoy, couldn’t have deserved it more. His death was the inexorable result of years misspent and appears to be no great loss, except the prime suspect is Sam’s personal friend.

Jenkins’ abilities are attacked when Lovejoy’s influential widow urges politicians to reassign the case to state investigators.

Feeling like “a pork chop at a bar mitzvah” in his new workplace, Sam suspects something isn’t kosher when the family tries to force him out of the picture.

In true Jenkins style, Sam turns common police practice on its ear to insure an innocent man doesn’t falls prey to an imperfect system and the guilty party receives appropriate justice.

A NEW PROSPECT takes the reader through a New South resolutely clinging to its past and traditional way of keeping family business strictly within the family.

A NEW PROSPECT named the year's best mystery at the 2011 Independent Publisher's Book Awards.

FATE OF A FLOOZY

Sam Jenkins investigates the shotgun murders of an aging movie star and the younger man with whom she was having an affair.

Two of the suspects include the woman’s husband, a Hollywood producer, and the young man’s father, a high-powered attorney.

Sam knows he’s not dealing with the usual down-home crowd from Prospect, Tennessee as his inquiry spans the nation, from California to a prestigious country club in Knoxville.

In a theatrical ending, Jenkins once again emulates his favorite fictional detective, Nero Wolfe, by assembling all the players and exposing the killer.

HURRICANE BLOW UP

Hurricane Irene caused thousands of coastal residents to flee inland and escape the storm’s carnage.

Two of them ended up in the Smoky Mountain tourist town of Prospect, Tennessee.

And then their car blew up. The bomb expert said they were the target of an assassin. One of the intended victims was a former New York Detective who had sent dozens of Russian mobsters to prison.

But he also stole the wife of an NYPD bomb technician who just happens to have retired to Prospect.

Chief Sam Jenkins enlists all his usual assistants to lay a trap and solve the attempted murder.

THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN BANK JOB

    Sam Jenkins’ law enforcement colleagues know he’s quick to ask a professional favor. But when a beautiful Treasury agent asks for his assistance, he balks.

     Special Agent Lucy Frobisher wants Sam to re-open a forty-three year old investigation and find her father’s killers.

     Reluctantly, the ex-New York detective turned Tennessee police chief delves into the robbery-homicide and finds himself back in the 1960’s, chasing down a group of anti-government anarchists who robbed banks to finance their violent revolution.
