The Albuquerque Murders

About the Book

WHAT THOSE WHO SHOULD KNOW SAY ABOUT

HOSFORD’S ALBUQUERQUE MURDER

Well written and compelling. One of the best crime novels

I have ever read.  The author weaves a plot that takes the

reader from suspicion to sympathy and then to doubt

masterfully without sacrificing authenticity and accuracy.

Very current and timely considering the corporate ethics and

national security concerns in today’s world.  Well thought out,

fast moving novel that sparks your interest till the last page.

One of the best mystery novels I have read leaving the

reader in suspense throughout the story. The

characters and plot are well developed.
