Writer, private investigator, tour guide, historian, treasure hunter, adventurer, and even archaeological sandhog, Chase is also a prolific lover. Unfortunately for him, his dangerous liaisons all too often make him the target of a jealous husband. Now, at the direct request of the Florence police, he finds himself on the trail of an archaeologist by the name of Dr. Andre Manion who's gone missing from his teaching post at the American University. But having worked for the archaeologist several years ago as a sandhog on a secret but failed dig just outside the Great Pyramids in the Giza Plateau, Chase smells a renewed opportunity to uncover what just might be the most prized archaeological treasure in the world: The mortal remains of Jesus. But how will Chase Baker go about solving the mystery of finding both the archaeologist and the Jesus Remains? With the help of Manion's beautiful ex-wife, Chase will manage to secure an up-close and personal examination of the Shroud of Turin, not only to view the famous image of the crucified Christ, but to unlock the relic's greatest secret which is none other than a map, or a key, detailing the precise location of Jesus's body.

But when a hot MFA in Writing student who claims to know Walls personally comes to his rescue, Moonlight not only becomes smitten with her charm, he falls head over heels with a young woman he barely knows. As the trail for Walls narrows, and the truths about everyone who has ever been involved with the world-famous writer are revealed, Moonlight wants only to run away as fast as his legs will take him.

Can Dick Moonlight save himself from crashing and burning? PI Dick Moonlight wakes up to find himself on a plummeting plane and handcuffed to an FBI agent. As if his life wasn't already turbulent enough-his bar burned down; his ex, Lola, left him for another man; and Jack Daniels is his new best friend-the FBI informs him that he's got unfinished business. His last case, the one with Russian mobsters after a top secret flash drive, isn't exactly closed. The cop who took the hardware from Moonlight went rogue, bringing along a crooked FBI agent and Moonlight's ex, and now he's looking to sell to the highest bidder. The FBI needs Moonlight to track them down-in Florence, Italy. Outwitting, outrunning, and out shooting the Russian thugs who are also after the flash drive will be a piece of cake. Wooing back Lola, however, is going to take everything he's got. The stakes couldn't be higher in Vincent Zandri's latest Dick Moonlight PI thriller.

Dick Moonlight is dead for real this time. Thanks to a trio of masked thugs in a dark downtown Albany alley, he''s purchased a one-way ticket to the Pearly Gates-that is, until he feels his floating spirit painfully pulled back into his bruised but breathing body. And that''s when the real trouble starts. <br><br>A private detective with a short-term memory problem due to a wayward self-inflicted slug, Moonlight knows he''s still in danger. Now he just needs to know why. And he''s got plenty of enemies to keep him guessing-the Albany police, the local mob, even the latest love of his life, Lola, can''t be trusted. Only his Vietnam-vet best friend, Georgie, is on the level. But it seems the goons who tried to take him out have bigger fish to fry-chiefly Moonlight''s latest client, Peter Czech, a handicapped nuclear engineer with a mysterious Russian heritage. Czech had something-a box-the gang believes is now in Moonlight''s possession, and they''re willing to get it any deadly way they can. Problem is, Moonlight doesn''t recall Czech giving him any box-of course, that doesn''t mean he doesn''t have it. He just better figure out where it is before he winds up dead for the last time. <br><br>The Cold War is heating up once again in Vincent Zandri''s latest thriller. <i>Moonlight Rises</i> is a fast-paced, whip-smart tale of a guy who can''t always remember getting into trouble-and can''t seem to stay out of it.
