About the Book

Majestic View Drive is the sixth book in a series of novels featuring Michael "Mickey" Ross. The first three books are in the form of a trilogy. They are Rommel's Black Box, The Loon's Vendetta, and The Golden Jackal. Please note that every book written is a standalone novel. The next were The Knights of Valhalla, The Calder Mines, and Majestic View Drive. Majestic View Drive is a Michael "Mickey" Ross novel about a double homicide and a serial killer. Homicide cases always require unvarying concentration, and most often the investigator must devote days paying attention to the details of the case. While doing this he has to consider the salient points first and simultaneously probe secondary leads. Doing this is what keeps a case going in the right direction. An outstanding homicide detective must be relentless in the pursuit of the case. Such a detective will usually search for a trail of evidence and then follow a defined format of investigative techniques. If that doesn't work he follows his gut. At one time Mickey was an outstanding homicide detective, but now he is retired or semi-retired. During this episode Ross works loosely with the New York State Police in the pursuit of a serial killer. Majestic View Drive stays on course and follows a steady pace while the killer attempts to remain concealed amongst the cast of characters. Throughout this story Ross is doing what he did most of his life and what he does best - homicide investigations. The only difference now is that Ross and Yankee Investigations have been hired by a defendant. The serial killer in question leaves a distinguishable mark on the bodies of all his victims. Ross works closely on this case with John Conway, a senior investigator with the New York State Police. The trust developed between Ross and Conway goes beyond the normal bond that often exists between law enforcement people. The case takes a number of twists and turns. Things are not always the way they appear. Forensics play a major role in proving the evidentiary aspects of the case, especially in the areas of ballistics, fingerprints and DNA evidence. The case involves multiple homicides some are 50 miles away while others are but 50 yards away from Ross's home in Armonk. During this investigation nothing can be looked at as apparent and the entire cast of characters is suspect. Two dead, nude bodies lay on the mattress of a double bed on the second floor of a 6800 square foot home in the affluent Village of Armonk, New York. The bodies were shot several times by an unknown assailant at a Majestic View Drive address just four houses down the street from Mickey Ross's home. There was no apparent motive for the senseless shooting and there were no cell phones, no shell casings and no murder weapon found at the scene. It was a Wednesday, just after midnight, and a severe thunderstorm was raging outside when Gene Brennan discovered the bodies of his wife and her apparent lover. Brennan was employed as a blackjack dealer at the Algonquin Casino in Bratton, Connecticut. This week there was a sudden change in his schedule and he decided to drive home as opposed to staying at the casino which is what he normally did. The crime was initially reported to Chief Dyer of the Armonk P.D. and, at his request, the New York State Police adopted the case. Brennan was arrested by the state police and charged with the murders of both victims. Following his arrest Brennan was confused, and terrified. He eventually turned to Yankee Investigations for help. Ross again gets involved in a murder investigation. But this time it was closer to home than ever before. And this time his client is the defendant. As a former detective I can say without reservation I have been there and done that. Most writers cannot make that statement. As a reader I usually identify the murderer before going half way through the book. Now, as a writer I challenge to you to identify the murderer. RICH
About the Author: This is the first autobiography I have written. I do feel a bit self-serving writing it but here goes. I was luckier than most kids because I grew up poor. Starting at the bottom gave me the advantage of appreciating those small experiences that are taken for granted by so many. I survived the New York City school system and by the time I graduated high school Elvis was singing "Heartbreak Hotel." After two years at Colorado A & M I dropped out. It was probably the best two years of my life. Over the next five years I drove a truck and completed at tour in the US Army. In 1962 I was appointed to the position of Trooper on the New York State Police. At thirty I married the girl of my dreams and we have three wonderful daughters. In 1968 I received a promotion to Detective/ Investigator and was assigned to work specifically on Organized Crime investigations and undercover narcotics cases. I was given a Federal clearance by the US Attorney's Office while assigned to various Federal & State Strike Forces in the NYC area. I was at Woodstock (1969) and made drug buys. I continued working narcotics cases in NYC, drove an undercover taxi, installed wiretaps, and had a partner that was shot and killed during a drug buy and bust deal gone bad. It was during this time that I was promoted to Detective Supervisor/ Senior Investigator and earned a bachelor's degree from S.U.N.Y. and a master's degree from Long Island University. I retired in the early eighties, did some private investigations work, tried commercial fishing and obtained a Coast Guard charter captain license. I ended up in business where I experienced the American Dream. I didn't start to write until I was in my late sixties and had lost most of my hearing. By not being able to hear it allowed me to enter into a special world of fantasy. I wrote five books before I had any thoughts of publishing. I presently reside, with my wife of 47 years, in New York spending my time between Westchester County and the Hamptons on Long Island. During the winter months I will be on the Treasure Coast, usually in Vero Beach, Florida. Last year, while alone on my boat in Shinnecock Bay NY I died of sudden cardiac arrest. I was brought back to life minutes later by an act of serendipity performed by my buddy who I call Mickey. Mickey is an implanted defibrillator who permanently resides under my skin below my left shoulder. That is my 45,000 word autobiography in 450 words.
