The novels of Jim DeFilippi are as diverse and idiosyncratic as American crime itself.
The books frame out a time from the middle of the last century to now. While usually set in the vicinity of New York City, they might visit anywhere from a pre-pipeline Alaskato a Capote diner in Holcomb, Kansas. The protagonist might be a street bum or a newspaper man or a customer rep for a satellite TV company.
Style? Let’s just say that if this guy ever took a writing class, the rotating instructors must have been Elmore Leonard, Mickey Spillane, P.G. Wodehouse, George V. Higgins and John le Carré.
The novels have been called “Excellently paced and imaginatively told” (Publishers Weekly), “Suspenseful, often hilarious” (New York Newsday), “Superbly crafted” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), “Precise and pithy,” (The Library Journal), and “Ingenious” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).
Now, you can buy any of these novels from Jim’s shelf at Amazon’s Kindle Store or Barnes & Noble’s Nook-book Store for only $2.99. All books, as well as the material on this site, are copyrighted.
After you have clicked, bought and read, we think you’ll have the same reaction as the book reviewer for a Northeastern newspaper whose review began with, “Whoa…that was good.”
Enjoy yourself.
