It's hard being Lillian Belle Rosemary Cleary. And if I didn't know that already, Bonita, my legal secretary supreme and secondary therapist, kept reminding me.
"Carita," she said, shaking her head and handing me the pink highlighter at my hyperventilated request so that I could mark another obscure legal point I needed to memorize for my upcoming appellate argument. "You make this so much more difficult than it needs to be."
So spank me, I'm a lawyer and complicating things at a high hourly rate is my specialty.
Sometimes being a lawyer sucks. That's what Lilly Cleary thinks. Lilly is tough-as-nails attorney who works for a big firm in Sarasota, Florida, and an obsessive-compulsive health nut who has a bad habit of tripping over dead bodies. This time out she's got her hands full with a psychic client and a Nazi-next-door neighbor, when an obnoxious partner in her firm is murdered.
Somehow Lilly gets dragged into investigating and encounters a world-class assortment of weirdo suspects, all of whom have good reason to want to knock the guy off.

Caught Dead by Andrew Lanh, a New 1st in Series Mystery Introducing Rick Van Lam
Omnimystery News is pleased to present you with one of this month's new 1st in Series titles, a mystery, thriller or suspense novel that introduces a recurring character (or characters) …
What we know about the character: Rick Van Lam is a private investigator in Connecticut. For more information about his first investigation, see a synopsis of the book, below.
One of the beautiful Le sisters is dead …
Hartford, Connecticut's small Vietnamese community is stunned. Mary Le Vu, wife of a poor grocery-store owner, is gunned down in a drive-by. Her twin sister insists dutiful Mary "wouldn't be caught dead" in that drug-infested zone. The police rule it an unlucky accident. Skeptics hire private eye Rick Van Lam to get to the truth.
Amerasian Rick — his father an unknown US soldier — is one of the Bui Doi, children of the dust, so often rejected by Vietnamese culture. But his young sidekick, Hank Nguyen, a pureblood Vietnamese, can help Rick navigate the closed world of Little Saigon. Surrounded by close friends — a former-Rockette landlady, his crusty mentor, and his ex-wife Liz — Rick immerses himself in a world that rejects him, but now needs his help. Especially when a second murder strikes in Little Saigon.
Rick and Hank delve into the families of the Le sisters, one poor, one very rich, and uncover a world of explosive ethnic tension and sinister criminal activity ranging from Hartford's exclusive white suburbs to the impoverished inner city. To solve the murders — and bring closure to Mary's grieving circle — Rick looks to long-buried memories of his Buddhist childhood for the wisdom that will lead him to a murderer.

Brilliant, dedicated, and driven, archaeologist Emma Fielding finds things that have been lost for hundreds of years — and she's very, very good at it. A soon-to-be-tenured professor, she has recently unearthed evidence of a seventeenth-century coastal Maine settlement that predates Jamestown, one of the most significant archaeological finds in years. But the dead body that accompanies it has embroiled Emma and her students in a different kind of exploration.
With her reputation suddenly in jeopardy — due to the ruthless machinations of a disgruntled rival — and a second suspicious death, heartbreakingly close to home, Emma must unearth a killer among the relics. But that means digging deep to get to dark secrets buried in the heart of the archaeological community — which, in turn, could bury Emma Fielding.

Poke Rafferty is happier than he's ever been. He's financially solvent, his family is about to grow larger, and his adopted Thai daughter, Miaow, seems to have settled in at junior high school. All that is endangered when Miaow and her boyfriend, Andrew, buy a stolen iPhone from a shady vendor and discover photographs of two dead police officers on it — disgraced officers, violently murdered to avenge the long-dead.
Surrounding the murder investigation is a conspiracy that reaches the highest reaches of Bangkok law enforcement, and perhaps beyond. It soon becomes apparent that Miaow's discovery threatens the entire family — and if that's not enough, in order to survive, they may ultimately have to depend on someone who, in the past, has already betrayed them.

A Conversation with Mystery Author David P. Wagner
with David P. Wagner
We are delighted to welcome novelist David P. Wagner to Omnimystery News today.
David's second mystery in his Rick Montoya, Italian series is Death in the Dolomites (Poisoned Pen Press; September 2014 hardcover, trade paperback, and ebook formats) and we recently had the chance to catch up with him to talk a little more about his books.
— ♦ —
Omnimystery News: When you wrote Cold Tuscan Stone, did you know at the time it would be the first in a series?
Photo provided courtesy of
David P. Wagner
David P. Wagner: Rick Montoya became a recurring character when I added the subtitle "A Rick Montoya Italian Mystery" to the first book's title. At that point he was locked in. He has already changed somewhat from book one to book two, and will continue to change in the third. Everyone changes, gets older, except perhaps Dennis the Menace. But since we would all love to stay in our thirties, I won't let Rick get much older than that.
OMN: Into which mystery subgenre would you place this series?
DPW: If on a scale of one to ten, a cozy is one and a dark, Scandinavian mystery is a ten, my books are at about five. Unlike characters is the ten category, Rick Montoya is a relatively normal guy, with supportive family and mostly nice friends. But he's also fascinated by the two cultures, American and Italian, that he has moved in during his life, and the conflicts that sometimes appear when those cultures clash. He also loves figuring out a mystery, so the books are procedurals, though the procedure stuff is usually handled by the cop characters.
OMN: Give us a summary of Death in the Dolomites in a tweet.
DPW: Rick wants skiing, but gets a murder. Is the victim's sister suspect? The mayor? The baker? So much intrigue for such a tiny Alpine town.
OMN: How much of your own personal or professional experience have you included in the books?
DPW: Both books in the series take the reader to towns in Italy I know well after living in that country for nine years. As I wrote in the author's notes at the end, I've tried to describe the places accurately. The characters, of course, are made up, though some of them may be a composite of various people I've met, but my lips are sealed as to which ones. The food Rick enjoys in both books are dishes I like, I'd never put in something I didn't want to eat myself. Not that such a thing happens often in Italy.
OMN: Describe your writing process.
DPW: With a mystery, you have to know how it's going to end to write what comes before it. At least that's the way it works for me. So I write a detailed synopsis first, then start writing scenes from there. Except for Rick, my protagonist, I usually decide on the personality of each character when that character first appears in a scene. So sometimes someone who starts out as a nice guy turns cranky when he gets to the page, or vice versa. Of course clues and red herrings pop up as the writing progresses, but with the final ending in mind.
OMN: How do you go about researching the plot points of your stories?
DPW: Since I include a great deal of local culture about the towns in the book, I do quite of a bit of fact checking either on line or using a whole library of books on Italy I have at home. The challenging part is avoiding getting immersed in some fascinating bit of history which takes time away from writing. I also use the internet mapping programs to "drive" down the streets of the towns so that I can describe them accurately, since my memory of them may be a bit fuzzy. And I throw in the occasional Italian word into my dialogue, so I've had to be sure each one is accurate and appropriate.
OMN: How true are you to the settings?
DPW: Rick Montoya goes to real places in Italy, and I try to describe them accurately. Setting is an important part of both books, since each area, or even town in Italy is very different from the next. (Volumes have been written about Italian regionalism.) Moving Rick to a different town also allows me to have him sample regional foods, as also mentioned above. I probably should not have been surprised at the strong positive reaction from readers about my descriptions of the food, but it has been fun to get them.
OMN: If we could send you anywhere in the world to research the setting for a book, where would it be?
DPW: Let me see … Italy? My plan is to continue to have Rick find himself in a new Italian town in each book, and they will be places a bit off the beaten tourist track so I can show readers something different from Rome, Florence and Venice, the usual tourist spots. Eventually, I suppose, he'll stay home in Rome and get directly involved in some crime with his uncle, the policeman, but for the moment there are too many wonderful places to take him.
OMN: What are some of your outside interests? And have any of these found their way into your books?
DPW: I play golf, but that probably won't get into any books. My traveling around New Mexico and the Southwest has occasionally meant that local stuff creeps into the books, especially since Rick Montoya has family here and went to the University of New Mexico.
OMN: What is the best advice you've received as an author?
DPW: My editor told me, after reading an early draft of Cold Tuscan Stone, that I was writing as if the characters were there to support the plot, when it should be the other way around. So both advice and criticism. I've never forgotten that. When you think of books you've enjoyed, how ofter do you remember the plot? Sometimes, if it's extremely clever, but usually it is the characters which stick in your mind. So be sure the characters are well-developed and believable, would be my advice.
OMN: Complete this sentence for us: "I am a mystery author and thus I am also …".
DPW: "I am a mystery author and thus I am also a mystery reader." The cliché is that you should write what you know and what you like, but this cliché is true. So if you want to write mysteries you must read a lot of them.
OMN: Tell us about the cover design.
DPW: Poisoned Pen Press uses a great cover artist named Nick Greenwood, who's done the covers of both my books. He captured the peaceful yet ominous atmosphere of the small towns perfectly. I hope that future Rick Montoya Italian Mysteries will continue to have his covers.
OMN: What kind of feedback have you received from your readers?
DPW: The best part of this author thing has been hearing from old friends as well as perfect strangers who have read the book and enjoyed it. The most frequent theme in the comments I've gotten is how people liked the descriptions of Italian culture and especially the food. What surprises me is that small detail that sticks in someone's memory about a book. One old friend, who worked with me in Italy, spotted how Rick doesn't like to drink grappa. Another person told me that reading it made him want to learn to make spaghetti alla gricia. It's very satisfying when someone who has actually spent some time in Italy says that my descriptions were spot on.
OMN: Suppose this series were to be adapted for television or film. Who do you see playing Rick Montoya?
DPW: Who could play Rick Montoya? That's a tough one, especially because I don't go to movies so I'm not that familiar with actors. But there is an Italian actor named Raoul Bova who might fit the bill, but a young Raoul. He was the love interest in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Another possibility, but again at a younger age, would be Rufus Sewell, who played the Aurelio Zen character in the BBC series that ran on PBS.
OMN: Have any specific authors influenced how and what you write today?
DPW: My favorite sub-genre, within mystery, is the comic caper. The master of it was Donald Westlake with his Dortmunder books, but Lawrence Block has ably carried on the tradition, especially with the Keller series. And there are others, like Hallinan and Crais. My goal is one day to write a truly funny mystery.
OMN: What kinds of books do you read for pleasure?
DPW: Other than mystery, I read history. Often it is something connected with Italy, like a biography of Cicero I have next to the bed now, or a history of the Italian campaign in WWII I read a couple months ago. I also like to skim through cookbooks.
OMN: Create a Top 5 list for us on any topic.
DPW: Since I put a lot of food in my books, here's a list of five dishes to try on your next trip to Italy:
1. Spaghetti alla gricia: a classic but simple roman favorite
2. Melanzane alla parmigiana: you'll throw rocks at eggplant parmesan in the States after eating this dish in Italy.
3. Gnocchi verdi alla gorgonzola: spinach gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce, what's not to like?
4. Spaghetti alle vongole: Again, you'll never be satisfied with clam spaghetti again.
5. Macedonia di frutta: the simplest and best dessert, fruit salad.
OMN: What's next for you?
DPW: I'm working on the third book in the series. Rick Montoya goes to Bassano del Grappa, a beautiful little town on a hill next to the Brenta River with a famous covered bridge and a tradition for making ceramics. He's there doing a translation job at an international conference which turns deadly. And (I suppose this could be called a tease) a surprise character walks back into his life.

Death in the Dolomites
David P. Wagner
A Rick Montoya, Italian Mystery
Rick Montoya is looking forward to a break from his translation business in Rome — a week of skiing in the Italian Alps with old college buddy Flavio. But Rick's success helping the Italian police with a murder in Tuscany sends the Campiglio cops his way. An American banker working in Milano is missing. The man's sister, an attractive and spoiled divorcée, has no idea where he could be, nor do the locals who saw him on his way to the slopes. With the discovery of a body, Rick and Inspector Albani widen their list of suspects. Picturesque resort Campiglio harbors old rivalries, citizens on the make, and a cut-throat political campaign. Why would these local issues, any of them, connect to the missing banker?
The investigation doesn't keep Rick and Flavio from enjoying perfect ski conditions in the Dolomites and glorious after-ski wines and bowls of fresh pasta. As for women — Rick has to wonder if the banker's sister is just hitting him up for information. The action heats up, testing laid-back Rick whose uncle, a Roman cop, keeps urging him to make the police his career.

Jonathan Stiles is a 14-year-old atheist who is coping with his first day of ninth grade at the fervently religious St. Soren's Academy when his idolized older brother Ryan is found dead at the bottom of a ravine behind the school. As his world crumbles, Jonathan meets an eccentric stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jesus Christ (except for his white linen leisure suit and sparkling gold chains). Jesus Jackson, as he calls himself, offers to provide faith to Jonathan. He also suggests that Ryan's death may not have been an accident after all.
Jonathan teams up with Henry, his new best friend at St. Soren's, to investigate. The two boys find footprints leading to the ravine that match Ryan's sneakers. They are assisted by Ryan's grieving girlfriend, Tristan, who also thinks the accident theory is bunk. The police, however, will not listen. But Jonathan knows something the police do not know: Shortly before his death, Ryan was doing cocaine with fellow footballer and number one suspect Alistair not far from the ravine where his body was found.
An inspired Jonathan battles sanctimonious school psychologists, overzealous administrators, and a cavalry of Christian classmates on his quest to discover the truth about Ryan's death — and about God, high school, and the meaning of life, while he's at it. But he keeps getting distracted by Cassie — Alistair's quirky younger sister — who holds the keys to the answers Jonathan is searching for, but but who also makes him wonder if he should be searching for them at all.
