Harper

Harper is a modern-day detective story set in a large city in the Northeast region of the United States. Who would hit a mafia boss? Evidence leads to involvement of the rival mafia family, but there is no motive. John Hart comes from a family of cops. The young homicide detective is part of a team assigned to the case. How did the hit man get into the secured building? How did he know the mafia boss would be at his restaurant that night? Who ordered the hit and arranged the logistics? Gradually a story falls into place, but the case is not strong enough to charge anyone. 

She didn't expect to run the family business. But Gramps is in the hospital, and her father is in prison. She promised Gramps that she wouldn't let his life's work perish with him. Doesn't that make her a Mafia Boss? Bill Hart is just a beat cop on the night shift in the toughest part of the city. He sees a solitary figure on the docks in the wee hours of the morning. This can't be good. Whoever it is must be a lookout and, in some way, involved in something criminal. 

Giancarlo Marchetti feels the pressure of leading the family business. He hasn’t taken a break in the last year. He decides to vacation in Crimea on the first anniversary of his grandfather’s assassination. Relaxing times come to an end when he finds a beautiful woman near death on the shore of the villa he rented. Who is she? How did she survive in the Sea of Azov? Why does she have scars on her body? He’ll get answers when she wakes up. No. She has amnesia. Things don’t add up. He determines that someone dumped her in the Sea of Azov intending that she drown.
