Book: “IN THE SHADOW OF LIES”
Blurb:
Richmond, California. World War II. Marine Lieutenant Oliver Wright comes home from the war in the Pacific injured and afraid his career as a homicide detective is over. But when an Italian Prisoner of War is murdered the night the Port Chicago Mutiny verdicts are announced, and black soldiers are suspected of the crime, the Army asks Oliver to find out the truth.
He and his canine partner Harley join forces with an Italian POW captain and with a black MP embittered by a segregated military. During their investigation, these unlikely allies expose layers of deceit and violence that stretch back to World War I and uncover a common thread that connects the murder to earlier crimes.
In the Shadow of Lies reveals the darkness and turmoil of the Bay Area during World War II, while celebrating the spirit of the everyday people who made up the home front. Its intriguing characters will resonate with the reader long after its deftly intertwined mysteries are solved.

Hi, Mary, I’ve been playing with covers for one of my books – have had three different covers & working on the fourth! HA! All the best! ♥

I love the cover process. I have a good design sense, but don’t have the computer skills needed to create one, so someone else does that part. Good luck. 🙂 Maybe you could post them and let us comment. Or maybe not.

Thank you, Billy Ray. I would love to have your impressions of it. I’m hoping to have the revised version up by June in case you want to wait. It is the same book but made more reader friendly. One of the perks of this labor of love was that I was able to “unkill” a character whose death was lamented by everyone who read it——including me. Yay!!
