Tom Gnagey

The Elusive Executioner Tom Gnagey

Barry, a reporter for a large, city, newspaper is suddenly beset by repeated attempts on his life. He searches his past to determine what he might have done to trigger such a relentless, terrifying string of events? He and Jake, his young photographer sidekick, systematically move toward the solution. It soon appears somebody has assembled a posse of intrepid, myopic, business managers to do him in - intrepid and myopic, perhaps; creative and relentless, for sure. He makes his way toward the solution with thoughtfulness and a dry, twisted, sense of humor - requests a cop-ochino from a policeman. The author propels the story along at a crisp pace, generously sprinkled with smiles, chuckles, and groans. Is it a suspenseful mystery? Is a humorous romp? Yes, it is.
