Taken for a Ride in Yorkville

In his best novel yet, James R. Fox takes us a ride in Yorkville, a section of New York City where a string of murders stump Detective Jack McClusky and everybody else. Nazi assassins, JFK and Marilyn Monroe, a priest who survived as a POW, the habitués of an Irish bar, a Golden Glove champ, and a taxi driver, they are all here in the noir-ish look at the Big Apple following the Great War.

James R. Fox received an Associate Liberal Arts degree from Queens Borough Community College. Now retired, he devotes his attention to writing, music, photography, traveling, and reading. Among his publications are The Wake, Wisdom of Wishes, Christmas Eve, and The Map of the Carpenter. His “Key West” was selected for inclusion in The 2013 Robert Frost International Poetry and Haiku Contest anthology.
