Frankly Speaking: A Frank Rozzani Detective Novel

By Don Massenzio

Book Overview

He came to Florida to escape his past. Trouble found him anyway.

Former Syracuse police detective Frank Rozzani has traded his badge for a quieter life on Florida's Atlantic coast-a little private-investigation work, late-night jazz piano, and the company of a dog named Lucy.

Then sixteen-year-old Maggie Bullock disappears.

The police call her a runaway. Her wealthy parents don't believe it, and they hire Frank to find out what really happened.

With his brilliant, unconventional partner Jonesy at his side, Frank begins asking questions. The answers lead from Jacksonville's beaches into a world of money, influence, hidden relationships, and people who would very much prefer that Maggie stay missing.

Soon the warnings begin.

Someone knows Frank is getting close. Someone also knows enough about the life he left behind in Syracuse to understand exactly where he's vulnerable.

Frank came south hoping to leave old ghosts behind. Finding Maggie may require him to face them again.

Frankly Speaking is the first novel in the Frank Rozzani Detective Series, blending a compelling private-eye mystery with sharp dialogue, humor, friendship, jazz, and a detective carrying secrets of his own.

Meet Frank Rozzani-and start the series from the beginning.
