GUILTY OR ELSE
| A Jimmy O'Brien Mystery |
Jeff Sherratt's new Jimmy O'Brien mystery novel is now available!
"Get your client to plead guilty, or else!" This is the last thing an ex-cop with a brand new law license expects to hear when they hand him the case of a lifetime on a silver platter. But Jimmy's shining star obviously has some strings attached. When a prominent state senator's attractive assistant is murdered, the cops arrest a Mexican gardener. The DA's case is slam-dunk. It's all wrapped up nice and tight. Maybe a little too tight. Something's not right in Downey! It's 1972 and the Mob is heavy into politics. From the track at Del Mar to the neon strip of Las Vegas and back to Beverly Hills, this novice criminal lawyer finds himself climbing into the pockets of judges and fending off the threats of a garbage mogul. How much did the assistant really know about the senator's powerful backers? Enough to get her killed? |
"A fast-paced and haunting California noir tale, in the tradition of Hammett,
Chandler, and Ross Macdonald. Great reading!"
–Robert Goldsborough, award-winning author of "A President in Peril"

Yes, that's me standing next to the greatest
living American writer, RAY BRADBURY. We
exchanged books. I gave him a signed copy of
THE BRIMSTONE MURDERS, and he gave me
FAHRENHEIT 451.
The photo was taken at the Duarte Festival of
Authors held in Duarte, CA on October 3, 2009.
His talent is exceeded only by his kindness.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my editor, Mike Sirota. Without
Mike my dream of being a published mystery writer would have remained a
fantasy. Without Mike's professional advice and personal touch my
manuscript would’ve languished in the bottom dresser drawer, buried with
my sock and shorts, never to see the light of day. Now after working with
him on three novels I hate the idea of even sending an email without his
watchful eye. If you’re a writer and would like to become a published author,
hook up with Mike. Give your work a chance in this competitive business.
