A hot-air balloon piloted by a Gypsy crashes in New York's Gramercy Park district. At virtually the same moment, Marco Fellini, wealthy art dealer and philanthropist, is murdered while target shooting in the private archery range atop his sumptuous brownstone. NYPD's 13th Precinct has its hands full with these two high-profile cases, and its prime trio of detectives--Lieutenant Dan Riley, the brilliantly obsessive-compulsive Lieutenant Zoran Zeissing and Civilian Consultant Dr. Yoko Kamimura, the team's newest addition and Riley's on-again, off-again lover--need to solve the cases. Both of them. Right now. Their investigations take the unusual trio on dizzying chases: Over Manhattan roof-tops, through NYC's iconic National Arts Club, around Central Park-even under Manhattan's crowded streets-in hot pursuit of murderers as resourceful and determined as the detectives. An Enthusiastic Review of Eye Wit: "A gripping mystery...I find the story enthralling, the characters believable. As a Romani person, I am especially impressed with the authors' efforts to present Hans, the principal Romani character, in a way that portrays him so that readers under-stand his vendetta and the reasons behind it. I highly recommend this novel." -Ronald Lee, Author, The Living Fire and A Romani Dictionary Praise for Hazel Dawkins' Eye Sleuth, the first Yoko Kamimura mystery: "Optometrist and epicurean Yoko Kamimura is a likable heroine who fights with her head and occasionally with her fists. Readers will learn much about behavioral optometry through Yoko's sleuthing exploits in the Big Apple and England." -Naomi Hirahara, Edgar winner and author of the Mas Arai series Praise for Dennis Berry's Mommie Dearest: "Berry is a talented writer who alternately charms and chills. His good guys and not-so-nice guys provide an entertaining chase through the beautiful Northwest, the world of corporate crime, and into the nests of families you quickly get to know and love-plus some you should avoid like crazy." -Dennis Fairchild, author, The Kitchen Tarot
