Editor's Note:
“This is a great series.” (John Crudele, NEW YORK POST); “A master of thriller dialogue.” (WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS); “While De Maria may have been an award-winning financial reporter, he's an awfully good fiction writer as well.” (NAPLES DAILY NEWS) ICE PICK MYSTERIES is an omnibus edition containing three complete Alton Rhode novels that feature ice picks as murder weapons. Ouch! In SISTER and SHADOW OF THE BLACK WOMB, the innocent suffer. In THE ELSON LEGACY, one would be hard put to feel sorry for the victim. But in all three tales, private eye Alton Rhode must find a killer. *** SISTER: A nun’s murder in Massachusetts brings two homicide detectives to Alton Rhode’s office. The New York private eye is quickly cleared as a suspect, but is stunned when he finds out who the victim was. Before she became a nun, the dead woman was his first love – a young girl who disappeared mysteriously, leaving him bereft. THE ELSON LEGACY: Alton Rhode is feeling a bit lonely – and depressed. Just about everyone he knows, including his girlfriend, is out of town. Then, Laurene Robillard walks into his office. At first, he does not recognize the beautiful, mature woman. She has changed dramatically since posing as a dying waif years earlier as part of a plot that almost cost Rhode his life. The former hooker is now respectable, very rich and soon to be married. But she needs Rhode’s help. Someone has killed her grandfather, a man with whom she has just reconnected after tracking down her birth mother in Virginia. SHADOW OF THE BLACK WOMB: Private eye Alton Rhode is stunned when a close friend, an N.Y.P.D. detective, is gravely wounded by a gunman on Halloween. The police pull out all the stops looking for the assailant, even enlisting Rhode’s help when the case turns cold. Then a maniac begins killing children, and a local political firebrand accuses the police of dragging their feet because the victims are black. The hunt for the man who shot their colleague is put on the back burner as the cops concentrate on finding the child killer. Rhode soon suspects that the cases are related. His investigation takes him across the country and he discovers enough circumstantial evidence to convince him that he is correct.
