Cross Examinations by John Hegenberger

A series of serious crimes: Kidnapping. Murder. Art thief. Blackmail. Comic books.

Private Investigator Eliot Cross faces heartache, headache, backache, and a royal pain in the neck in these rollicking noir stores from the heart of the Heartland.

Cross Examinations, Inc. established in 1988.

It seems there was a lot going on in Columbus, OH in the late eighties. Private Detective Eliot Cross is kept busy solving crimes, some of which he was hired to do and one or two that just show up in his daily life. I could have spent more time with this wise-cracking gumshoe with attitude. I loved his old-fashioned principles and no-nonsense approach to dealing with people and their crimes. I especially liked his dialogue with brought a genuine snigger to my lips; a lovely throwback to the classic one-liners of the genre. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable read!

CROSS EXAMINATIONS is available from Amazon.
