Unhappy New Year’s Day 2. Detective Saggio

(3 reviews)

Genres: Horror, Mystery, Thriller/Suspense,

Sub-genres: Weird Science, Police Procedural, Legal Thriller, Detective

We return to Orono, Maine, where Detective Gennaro Saggio makes another appearance. This time, the killer is even harder to track down than was Parker Toliver, she of ‘The Fascinator Murders.’

Detective Gennaro Saggio’s first email of the new year announces a murder. Curiously, it is signed OOOI. The victim was a suspected arsonist, found dead in an abandoned warehouse. A suicide note was present, but the victim was handcuffed in a closed and chained tanning bed. The victim had previously been arrested, tried, and acquitted of first-degree murder, and arson.

Apparently, someone didn’t believe he was innocent.

Being a crime mystery, there is a need to have some disturbing passages. The worst of these is identified ahead of its arrival.
