PI novel set in Manhattan during the 1980s when art galleries and model agencies were the two most glamorous businesses in the world. Dangerously well written.

Background
Information
I am a woman of strong faith and steadfast in fighting for truth and justice for my beloved son, Joseph. I follow the instruction, guidance and direction of my Holy Spirit who resides within me. Even though the officials and law enforcement kept beating me down, God gave me the strength and fortitude to follow the path and purpose and speak boldly in His name. My book is evidence of that; Almighty God has spoken. I was raised in a family of faith and my parents were both kind, loving, compassionate and caring people. We knew God was always with us and that there was much power in prayer. I always loved words and poetry as a child but never dreamed someday I would write a book. My most joyful and happiest years of my life were giving birth to my two beautiful sons and being a hands on and loving Mom to them. They are my heart and my world. In 2006 my life was forever changed when my precious Joseph was brutally murdered at the age of 19 while at work. There are no words adequate enough to convey the agony, grief, suffering and unbearable pain of burying your beloved and innocent child. I knew that something was not adding up with what the police were telling me throughout the criminal investigation of my son's killing. I researched, asked questions, requested meetings and put my faith and trust in these people who we are taught to trust, respect and honor. What they put me through over the past 9 years of my life is unconscionable, cruel, hateful and unacceptable. The depth of corruption, deceit and wrongdoing here is unconscionable and I will not stand for it. I have vowed to Joseph the be his voice and I will never give up until an arrest is made and a trial takes place. We know who the killer is, how it was done and my sons death certificate has been confirmed by the Medical Examiners a homicide by assault. Notwithstanding all of the facts, science, forensics, physics and evidence that proves Josephs death is in deed a crime, the states attorneys at both local and states levels refuse the findings and conclusions of the Medical Examiners and state that a homicide my assault does not equate to a crime........Really, really, are you kidding me! These selfish, greedy, and filthy men with their own agendas and political and professional aspirations must be held liable and interrogated. Their criminal actions are unspeakable and they must not be able to get away with this while everything is revealed and exposed as fact in my book. I will never give up.....never!
