Now, even death is not enough to shut some people up!

There’s nothing supernatural going on … Dead Time takes place in the not-too-distant future, right after a computer company has perfected the downloading, storage and lifelike display of the human consciousness.

In ultra-high definition, you can still carry on a conversation with your departed loved one … as if they never left you. 

TROUBLE IS … when you’re dead, you tend to lose your inhibitions. These dead people have quite a lot to say, and have already told some astounding secrets to their still-living relatives.

And some people, especially in the U.S. government, want to shut everyone up … permanently.

Catch the action as an FBI Agent and a beautiful, wealthy scientist have to run for their lives ... and then face the awful truth that the government wants to keep hidden.

Silhouettes

by Paul Patti. 250 pages. Available in hard and soft cover.

It seems West Palm Beach has more in store for its new husband and wife detective team than an occasional burglary case and time to start a family.

Mob witnesses are being slaughtered here as fast as they're getting new identities, and clues point to cop-rot in high places.

It's the seamy kind of action that Andy and Gabe Amato saw in Miami. It's also the kind that made their reputation - and the kind they can never pass up.

Now, they're trailing what may be the most clever hitman in underworld history, and nothing's going to stop them ... unless it's the killer himself - and he only kills crooks, right?

Death Mate

 by Paul Patti. 278 pages. Available in soft cover.

ISBN:

[Order from Alibris]

 

He's lived a step ahead of the law for 35 years. And for 35 years he's preyed on prostitutes and lonely women.

Hundreds have been slaughtered - their sexually mutilated bodies found along the highway, inside dumpsters, in shallow woodland graves - but "Zodiac" is still hungry.

Now, the hunter is out for bigger game. The evil genius has turned cop-killer and Andy Amato is #1 on his hit list. He's already murdered one of Andy's own,  beautiful young vice officer whose battered body was left with a note baiting Andy.

Now, the Zodiac won't stop until he's captured - or killed - South Florida's top homicide investigator!
