About the Book

Two NYC investigators don't stop until they expose the truth of the unsolved, 1957 murder of a little boy from Philadelphia. True accounts of collaboration with the current police department... until people's double lives are discovered and communication breaks down.

Book Synopsis

It's 1957. On a cold, February night, along a lonely road in Philadelphia, a little boy is found. DEAD. Someone still holds a secret. From HistoricMysteries.com "However, hope still remains as Court TV, 48 Hours and America's Most Wanted have featured this case on recent episodes. Perhaps the lead everyone has been waiting for will present itself." Two main questions still abound, having left kind-hearted people around the world stumped. #1 WHAT would be the motive for wanting this little boy dead? #2 WHY hasn't this murder been solved all these years? It was a simplistic time in the United States. Pre-Kennedy assassination, pre-landing on the moon, before Viet Nam, before Love-Ins, and unfortunately, before DNA testing. Now it's 58 years later and Detective Vic Gonnella and Raquel Ruiz with their Type A personalities won't rest until the heinous injustice that was done to this little boy is exposed. Follow them as they criss-cross the country to conduct interviews and tear apart clues left cold in the police files of the Philadelphia Police Department. As clues and leads are followed, Detective Gonnella and Raquel find themselves continuously detoured by people's secret, double lives. YOU THINK I'M DEAD is the second in the detective Vic Gonnella series with INTERCESSION being the first.

Review Quotes

Romano loves to write. You Think I'm Dead (Vecchia Publishing) is Lou Romano's second murder mystery starring street-smart detective Vic Gonnella and his savvy, gorgeous partner and live-in girlfriend, Raquel Ruiz, both from the Bronx. He's Italian, she's Puerto Rican. When they're not having a go at each other in bed or exchanging affectionate ethnic put-downs, they're on the move to solve crimes that defy solution by the police or the FBI. He can create imaginative plots... You Think I'm Dead brings back serial killer John Deegan who was in Intercession (Vecchia Publishing, 2014). It turns out that this incident is based on a real-life case that occurred 58 years ago and has remained unsolved, though there were numerous investigations and much media attention. The dynamic duo, former NYPD, now P.I.s, are on the case, a commitment that will cause the boy's spirit to visit them. # Review of YOU THINK I'M DEAD by Louis Romano by Joan Baum of Dan's Papers: By the Book: P.I.
