Starting March 19, 2025 for I week only, Little Italy, a psychological suspense novel, is available for $1.99. Just click on the cover and you’ll be taken directly to the Amazon book site.

Joe Belmont is a 1st-year medical student who puts in sixty-hour weeks as a waiter to support himself. Then without warning his saintly mother is murdered in her modest home, and his uncle, his only living relative, dies in a suspicious auto accident. Now, for no apparent reason, whoever killed them are trying to kill him.

From multiple hiding places within the Philadelphia neighborhood where he grew up, to the Jersey shore hospital where he was placed at bedrest for 12 nightmarish months, to the financial district of Zurich, Switzerland, Joe and his girlfriend, Lara, run for their lives.

Lara thinks the answer is locked up deep in Joe’s unconscious mind. Joe thinks that the more practical answer is to get a gun, learn how to use it, and disappear… But then what?

Thanks for reading.

Best Wishes, Art
