A New Departure: A Mystery Novel

The Dry Cleaner; A Rich Vitelli Mystery

When clients want a body to totally disappear from the face of the Earth, they call upon the services of The Dry Cleaner.  There are no bones, no skin, no teeth, no pesky fingerprints—not even metal replacement body parts.  And, best of all, there’s no DNA left behind.  It’s as if the person never existed.  What’s more, for special clients—and the right price—The Dry Cleaner can deliver the total package: a clean kill and an untraceable disposal of the remains.

It’s only when Metro Police Detective Rich Vitelli is tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of real estate tycoon Harry Cady Dealey that his and The Dry Cleaner’s paths actually cross.  Without an actual corpus delicti, it’s up to Vitelli to piece together the clues he uncovers along the way, involving organized crime, a disgruntled wife and her lover, and, of course, The Dry Cleaner.

The story is told from the perspective of both Vitelli and The Dry Cleaner, with an unexpected ending that will leave readers shaking their heads in amazement.
