We’re not accustomed to publishing information about works-in-progress, as things tend to change during writing/editing, but we’ve been asked about the next book in the series . . . yes, there is a third book under development for those of you who cannot get enough murder, sex, Scotch, and ice cream (you know who you are!). The working title is The Madtown Milkrun, and we expect to publish sometime in 2015 (stay tuned to this web page or our Facebook page for updates).

Here is the working back-cover synopsis:

Fugu? Fugedaboudit; it’s been done. Piranha filet? Passé. Breast of Bald Eagle? Illegal, but that wouldn’t stop Chef from putting it on the menu; true artistry knows no boundaries.

It’s all about the ultimate gourmet experience. What’s under Chef’s apron this time? Phil Bardo, Xiamorha “Sam” Sang, and Mary Haiger have to find out. From a gruesome killing at Cows on the Concourse to a missing dairy farmer, a secret decadent spa for the super-rich and an uneasy partnership between the FBI and the DEA on an interstate drug trafficking case, Phil and his partners have a lot on their plates. Yes, it’s a DOA involving the FBI, the DEA, and the EIEIO!

Yet another tasty tale of murder, sex, Scotch, and ice cream from the folks who brought you Murder in Madtown and Madtown Madmoney!
