Release: A Friend in the Glass

Today is the long-awaited release of the third mystery in the Auden & O'Callaghan series, co-written with Gregory Ashe: A Friend in the Glass! We are so, so excited to finally have a new Sam and Rufus novel out in the world and hope readers enjoy the latest death, danger, snark, grump, and romance that follows these two like a bad penny.

Blurb: It’s winter in New York City, and Rufus O’Callaghan is trying to make things work. He’s still got his job as a confidential informant, and he’s still got Sam Auden. The ex-Army drifter has moved in with Rufus, and the two men are trying to build a lasting relationship as Sam struggles to find his footing in the city.

When Sam gets a call from a woman offering to sell him information about Project Stonefish, though, neither man knows what to make of it. Sam still has questions about the training operation that caused him to leave the Army—and that ended in the death of someone Sam cared about. And Rufus is all too aware that when it comes to Stonefish, Sam’s judgment might be in question.

Everything changes when Sam and Rufus learn that the woman who called Sam has died from a suspicious overdose—and that, before she died, she contacted someone else about Stonefish. Someone who wants Stonefish to stay buried in the past. Someone with the power—and the ruthlessness—to make sure it stays buried. And to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago, Sam and Rufus will have to place themselves in the crosshairs.

Cover Reveal: A Friend in the Glass


This is not a drill! It's been three years in the making, but grumpy ex-Army wanderer Sam and snarky confidential informant Rufus—sleuths and boyfriends—are back!

Title: A Friend in the Glass
Series: An Auden & O'Callaghan Mystery
Book #: Three
Written: Gregory Ashe and C.S. Poe
Cover art: Reese Dante
Release date: Tuesday, November 26, 2024

If you're new to Sam Auden and Rufus O'Callaghan, this is my co-written series with fellow mystery author and wonderful friend, Gregory Ashe. We released the first book in 2020—A Friend in the Dark—and have been slowly but surely continuing to get Sam and Rufus in love and in trouble. Maybe the coolest part of these books is the way in which we write them. No passing chapters back and forth via email or trying to share the dialogue of lead characters. We, quite literally, sit in a Google document together, for two hours at a time, and write. One page might be two paragraphs by Greg, one sentence by Poe, another sentence by Greg, so on and so forth. Every page is a melting pot of the two of us. I think this process allows for our very distinct styles to blend together and create a wholly unique narrative, while at the same time, not allowing readers to forget who we each are as authors, as I believe we can be readily seen in Sam (Greg) and Rufus (Poe).

Stay tuned for the reveal of the official blurb and pre-order links, coming very soon! And don't forget to add the book to your Goodreads shelf today.

Translation: Il mistero delle immagini in movimento

The Italian edition of The Mystery of the Moving Image is now available through Triskell Edizioni and entitled, Il mistero delle immagini in movimento!

Blurb: È estate a New York, e l’antiquario Sebastian Snow sta per compiere un passo importante nella sua relazione con il detective della Omicidi Calvin Winter. I due hanno infatti deciso di andare a vivere insieme. Ma quella che avrebbe dovuto essere una splendida settimana di festeggiamenti in occasione dell’imminente compleanno di Calvin, subisce una svolta inquietante quando all’Emporium, il negozio di Sebastian, giunge una cassa misteriosa.

Al suo interno, c’è un raro esemplare di cinetoscopio di Thomas Edison – un visore inventato dal nonno del cinema moderno, W.K.L. Dickson –, e con esso il filmato di un omicidio risalente a oltre un secolo prima.

Sebastian resiste all’impulso di cominciare a indagare, anche se l’assassino dovrebbe ormai essere morto da tempo. Tuttavia, una serie di effrazione all’Emporium, una delle quali culminata nel ritrovamento di un cadavere, lo costringeranno a rivedere la sua posizione e a imbarcarsi nell’ennesima caccia al killer.

Translation: Omicidi al Madison Square Park

The Italian edition of Madison Square Murders is now available through Quixote Edizioni and entitled, Omicidi al Madison Square Park!

Blurb: Everett Larkin lavora per la squadra Casi Irrisolti: un gruppo di detective d’élite, per quanto a corto di personale e sovraccarico di lavoro, che risolve le morti dimenticate di New York. Larkin è diverso dagli altri, ma le sue abilità deduttive sono senza paragone e la sua memoria per i minimi dettagli è impareggiabile.

Quando una tempesta primaverile sradica un albero nel Madison Square Park, dissotterrando una cassa con resti umani al suo interno, il miglior detective dei Casi Irrisolti viene assegnato al caso. E quando una maschera mortuaria, di quelle diffuse in epoca vittoriana, viene ritrovata insieme al corpo, Larkin chiede assistenza all’unità Artisti Forensi e la riceve nella persona del detective Ira Doyle, suo completo opposto in tutto e per tutto.

Ragionamenti razionali e ricostruzioni facciali mettono Larkin e Doyle sulla scia di vecchi casi di omicidio e di un assassino ossessionato dal conservare in un calco le fattezze delle sue vittime. Se si include il flirtare insolente da parte di Doyle, il caso potrebbe finire con l’uccidere Everett Larkin.
