Live Till I Die introduces August Nolan, a tough yet soft-spoken New Jersey ex-state cop turned PI who when not working a case is often found nursing a Jack Daniels at Amanda’s, his favorite Hoboken watering hole. Nolan’s latest assignment, which he’s juggling with a couple of cheating spouse cases, is to investigate Hoboken’s charismatic young mayor, suspected of graft in a lucrative construction contract scheme. As Nolan digs in, he connects the mayor to a major smuggling operation and a suspicious car accident the night an attractive campaign worker went missing. The PI’s persistence quickly draws the ire of a crime syndicate as well as from some in law enforcement, and trouble follows. A live-and-let-live attitude won’t stop Nolan from unleashing his formidable fighting skills when a young protégé and his family become targets. Live Till I Die features a strong cast of characters, colorful Hoboken background, romantic tension and action scenes that keep the pages turning. Investigative technique and bartender’s wisdom are freely dispensed. This is detective fiction in the vein of Robert B. Parker’s “Jesse Stone” and “Spenser” novels, but with an arguably harder edge.
