HELL
HOLE: Award-wining mystery writer Chris Grabenstein delighted readers with his first three amusement park-themed novels, Tilt-A-Whirl (2005), Mad Mouse (2006), and Whack-A-Mole (2007). These super-charged thrillers are all set at the Jersey Shore and feature a crime-stopping duo fans have come to love, John Ceepak and Danny Boyle. Ceepak is a hard-edged cop and former military police officer whose current job is to keep the summer tourist town of Sea Haven, New Jersey safe. Boyle is Ceepak’s wise-cracking, young partner, who never fails to be amazed by his mentor’s strict code of honor and sharp sleuthing skills. In HELL HOLE, Ceepak is faced with his most personal case yet when he must investigate the alleged suicide of a military corporal who recently returned from Iraq. When it turns out that this “locked stall” rest stop suicide is anything but an open-and-shut case, Ceepak and Boyle uncover that the corporal might have been privy to information that opens up a much larger conspiracy and puts them on the wrong side of some very dangerous people. Chris Grabenstein’s first novel, Tilt-A-Whirl, was included on several “Best Mysteries of 2005” lists and won the Anthony Award for “Best First Mystery.” Mad Mouse, the second series title, was named one of the ten best mysteries of 2006 by Kirkus Reviews. Chris is also the author of the Christmas thriller, Slay Ride, and its sequel Hell for the Holidays. He lives in New York with his beloved wife J.J., three cats and a dog.
