About Me:
John Reisinger is an engineer and former U.S. Coast Guard officer who lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore. John writes about true historical crime, forensics and mysteries based on real cases. His current book is Death of a Flapper, a Max Hurlock Roaring 20s mystery based on the Wilson-Roberts case of a double murder in a locked room.

His previous book was MASTER DETECTIVE, the story of Ellis Parker, the American Sherlock Holmes, and how Parker investigated the Lindbergh kidnapping, and got a signed confession by someone different from the man who had been convicted of the crime.

    Hey!
    I am a long standing member (board of directors) of the Md Writers Association. Are you in a critique group?
    If a author writes a novel in the forest, and nobody reads it, did it make a sound?
    I'm newt, slithering from the shallow end of the gene pool, into the open ocean. Sharks are likely to eat me before the salt water kills me, but who wants a quiet life?

    Oh, John, now that's embarrassing! LOL

    I guess you had a lot of explaining to do! I can assure you that the box you mentioned in your blog did not originally contain my books, either! : )

    Best,
    Linda

    Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

    Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

    Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

    Book Synopsis:

    The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

    The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
    In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
