The Mona Lisa Murders — Kent Conwell
The brainchild of Amazon Kindle bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to issuing classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!
THE MONA LISA MURDERS
Taking a well deserved fishing vacation after a frantic two weeks of herding twenty cats while stepping over dead bodies, Tony Boudreaux finds himself neck deep in the proverbial quicksand when a stubborn and sassy black woman who claims to be his cousin pleads for his help to deliver a package containing the cremated remains of Lisa Gherardini, the alleged model for the Mona Lisa, to a ranch in Texas.
The only problem is that three international cartels are after the package. They pursue Tony and Latasha through a-flooded New Orleans with its alligators and snakes and across Louisiana and Texas, coming to a startling climax on the Brazos River when Tony learns the package actually contains the world's largest uncut diamond.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kent Conwell grew up in the wide-open Texas Panhandle town of Wheeler, population 848. His love for the West came naturally, for his grandfather had run away from his Tennessee home when he was 14, bullwhacking his way to the Panhandle where he met his future wife, who had traveled from Illinois to Texas.
After moving to Fort Worth, Kent was more at home at the stockyards than school. Somehow, he managed to earn a B.S. and began teaching. Later, he moved to Port Neches where he acquired a M.Ed. and Ph.D. His love for writing about the West, a period in history unique to America, has never waned. A successful educator, he also won awards for his short stories, screenplays, mysteries, and Westerns. He died in February 2013.
