A really good start for the Ian Decker \/ Death by Condo mystery series. It is Sunset-Noir at its duskiest, set in the unreal Naples East Bay Shores Village.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrematurely retired lawyer Ian Decker wades into the investigation of Detectives Gabe Hubble and Nicolina Webster of a suspicious death in the murky heart of sub-ritzy Ibis Creek Condominium. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJJ Amos was a bull-headed collections lawyer for Ibis Creek. Amos dead in the bog is sad but great news for many an underwater owner. Normally, those happy folks would be called suspects, but Hubble and Webster's initial take is death by slip and sail. The case goes on death-support. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough not a fan of Amos, Decker cannot leave the case alone. Neither can Hubble and it was his call. Webster is the other side of ambivalent about any dead lawyer. Decker volunteers to be Hubble's virtual bloodhound, searching Amos' collection cases for clues that lead them to a face-to-face with an unexpected and dangerous killer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1950, John Nicholas Datesh lived in and around Pittsburgh until 2009. At Brown University, he took writing courses as a justification for doing just that. At Boston University Law School, he learned to insert phrases like \u003ci\u003eIt Depends\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHereinafter\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2009, he moved cats Lila and Lucy Liu to a condo near the east shore of Florida's Naples Bay, leaving behind a Pittsburgh career in law, product development and business in favor of fiction, happy hours and beach chairs, presumably in that order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He began writing fiction with a pencil, publishing on paper and ink, novels: SF\/Mystery \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Nightmare Machine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e; Soft-boiled Detective \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Janus Murder\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e; and International Suspense \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Moscow Tape\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in Naples are short stories \u003ci\u003eThe Pro Station\u003c\/i\u003e (WWII), \u003ci\u003eThe Final Equation\u003c\/i\u003e (SF) and \u003ci\u003eReruns ad Infinitum\u003c\/i\u003e (SF\/Fantasy). He concocted a satiric blog at EmptyGlassFull, a collection of which is grandly entitled \u003ci\u003eThe Very First Blog Posts of All Time\u003c\/i\u003e. The author's harrowing, wry Christmas short, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou Could Call It a Christmas Story\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e was first published as a post. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 2013's epic \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Girl in the Coyote Coat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e burst out of its original Mystery genre and page count. No one would call it a Romance, either. With its real estate and finance backdrop, the novel exposes how love, sex, money, scams, drugs, house-breaking and -shopping and fur coats can affect the lives of intriguing characters and even kill a few. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Girl in the Coyote Coat\u003c\/i\u003e was rebranded in 2016 as \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Need Apart\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, with identical content and a sedate, more \u003ci\u003eLiterary\u003c\/i\u003e cover, featuring the same model and coyote, to reposition the novel as decidedly literary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e November 2016's \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Body in the Bog\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is the first \u003ci\u003eSunset Noir\u003c\/i\u003e mystery novel of the planned \u003ci\u003eDeath by Condo\u003c\/i\u003e series, starring prematurely retired lawyer Ian Decker. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His 2009 screenplay-turned 2016 novel \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Last Three Minutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a partly true ghost story, written partly on the beach and entirely on Naples East Bay, although it is set in Pittsburgh where its central true incident occurred. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All current covers adorning the author's works were designed by the author.
