A Priestly Affair (Jesse Thorpe Mysteries, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

A Priestly Affair is a lively and offbeat thriller set in Maine. Monsignor Francis O'Reilly has a three-year-old daughter, conceived during a one-time sexual encounter with a seductive parishioner, Nicole Levesque. A DNA paternity test confirms that he is the father of the child, but Nicole has never allowed him to see "Evelyn." Father O'Reilly hires private investigator, Jesse Thorpe, to find her. In short order, Jesse uncovers an organized "family" of con artists, willing to use threats, and even deadly force, to keep their operation running without a hitch. This second novel in the Jesse Thorpe Mystery Series is an intricate and riveting tale, percolating with oddball characters and tongue-in-cheek humor, as Jesse works his way through a collection of grifters and victims from Maine to Florida. A Priestly Affair is a can't-put-it-down book for connoisseurs of both detective mysteries and dark comedy.

Autor

Carl Schmidt graduated from Denver University with a degree in mathematics and physics. As a Woodrow Wilson Fellow he studied mathematics at Brown University.

Carl lived and traveled widely throughout Asia for seven years, including two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines and five years in Japan, where he taught English.

Carl has spent dozens of summers in Maine, on lakes and in the woods. He chose it as the setting for these novels because he loves its rugged natural beauty and the charming idiosyncrasies of Mainers. He has also written and recorded three musical albums. This, along with his formal education, proved invaluable when molding the persona and voice of Jesse Thorpe, the narrator of Dead Down East, and endowing him with both a creative eye for detail and a sense of humor.

Dead Down East is the first novel in the Jesse Thorpe Mystery Series, which includes A Priestly Affair and Redbone. In 2001, New Falcon Press published his non-fictional book, A Recipe for Bliss: Kriya Yoga for a New Millennium.

Currently, he is a freelance writer living in Sedona, Arizona with his lovely wife, Holly, and their faithful German shorthaired pointer, Alize.
