Killing the Venerable: It's Their Time!

K.B. Pellegrino

Kathleen B. Pellegrino - Author & Storyteller Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts. West-Side, MA is not too far... “My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age when I would raid my father’s suitcase after his return from each of his frequent business trips. There lay one, two and sometimes three paperbacks. O’ the temptation to steal them before my older sister got them. And I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then. Even at that early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!” Add to that my service as a Springfield Police Commissioner and a ward political party leader, 20 years in an earned professorship at Westfield State University and service as Chairperson of the Department of Economics and Management, my education at Boston University as an engineer and later an MBA from Western New England College, my licenses as a Certified Public Accountant, a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor and Massachusetts Justice of the Peace, my experience in rehabbing historic residential and commercial buildings, my solo practice in taxation, my leadership as Executive Director of the Springfield Parking Authority, and most importantly my love of being a Springfield storyteller; I write now from those experiences. I have always written but alas only to the narrow constraints of business and law; certainly often much more long winded and with far less interesting turns of events. Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways –of life – of philosophy – about crime –about the sociopath/psychopath.”

Captain Rudy Beauregard is a detective in Western Massachusetts. He is an odd, but thoughtful, slow-moving, but quick-witted old-school detective. This story is about a murder using vehicles to kill elderly men. But, why? Why target men at the end of their lives? And why choose this weapon? Will Captain Beauregard find his killer?

Adults interested in Crime Fiction based on the procedural aspects of an investigation.
