The Curse of the Crimson Dragon on Kindle

July 23, 2015 By tonypiazza Leave a Comment

“The Curse of the Crimson Dragon.” I’ve been approached by more than one person, that this would make a great movie. When I wrote it, I set out to provide all the thrill-a-minute action, suspense, romance, and humor that the old movie serials (for us older folk), or their clone, Indiana Jones (for those slightly younger), and I believe I nailed it! See the reviews and decide. It’s set in paradise and priced for less than a Starbuck’s coffee. Please give it a try. I guarantee you’ll be back for more! That’s why I’ve temporarily set it at this introductory LOW PRICE! Look for it on Amazon Kindle.

Murder is Such Sweet Revenge- Haunted Hotel and Honeymoon Murders

Video by Dave Watson, Davlin Studios, U.K. Voice provided by S.Michael Leier.

Who says honeymoons aren’t dangerous? This one was murder!

 Private investigator Tom Logan and his girlfriend Rita finally tie the knot, choosing a turn-of-the-century beach resort on Coronado Island as their ideal honeymoon escape. Unfortunately what begins as a romantic getaway, ends suddenly with murder. A bestselling author is brutally killed on the night of a mystery writers’ convention, and Logan is forced to postpone their plans when drawn reluctantly into the case. During the course of the investigation, Logan meets an odd assortment of suspects that include: a soon-to-be ex-wife seeking monetary compensation, a jealous husband whose wife may be having an affair with the author, the writer’s male secretary who’s subservience to his boss was wearing thin, a lady mystery author with an agenda all her own, and a pair of publishers whom the writer accuses of plagiarism. A famous actor who plays a detective on the screen also makes a surprise appearance, as does a hotel ghost who just refuses to check out. Matching wits with a vengeful killer is what Logan does best, and he does exactly that in Murder is Such Sweet Revenge.

MURDER IS SUCH SWEET REVENGE Has Been Released!

July 17, 2015 By tonypiazza 4 Comments

If you love the classic detective films of the 30s or 40s, I know you’ll enjoy “Murder is Such Sweet Revenge.” No zombies, handcuff use (except what they were meant for), or four-letter words. Just good old fashion entertainment that will leave you with a smile, and not guilt after you close its’ cover. Mystery, romance, comedy, and plain fun…like they use to write them for screen, or otherwise. If you don’t like to go the print route…an e-book will soon be released.

LINK TO AMAZON:

http://www.amazon.com/Murder-Such-Sweet-Revenge-Piazza/dp/1514639319/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437161031&sr=1-5&keywords=tony+piazza

Are you tired of Zombies?

I am.

What about books that use to bought in the back of cigar stores, and is now being passed off as literature?

I wouldn’t know…although I do have a trench coat, snapped brim hat, and dark glasses.

What has happened to those classic detective stories that were written by respectable writers like Chandler or Hammett?

And the movies that charmed us from the 30s and 40s, like “The Maltese Falcon,” “The Thin Man,” and “The Big Sleep?”

And great actors like Bogie, Bacall, Powell, and Loy…not to mention, Asta.

Isn’t it time to read a book that you can openly enjoy and not be ashamed to admit that you read it.

What about just being entertained with a great story, filled with mystery, suspense, romance, humor, and heart-stopping action like they use to write them?

If so, then “Murder is Such Sweet Revenge” will be just right for you!
