A Jack Susko Mystery #1
by Lenny Bartulin
After crabby businessman Hammond Kasprowicz hires secondhand bookstore owner Jack Susko to find as many copies of an obscure poet's works as possible, Jack is happy to make some extra cash, but is baffled when Hammond burns every copy he finds.
"While the story twists won't shock genre fans, most readers will find the smart-aleck amateur detective a winning lead character." - Publishers Weekly
"Poet Bartulin's debut is quirky and inventive enough to attract a niche audience of readers who fantasize about owning a bookstore and embarking on colorful adventures." - Kirkus Reviews
