 Hello, I'm Delia Pitts, I'm happy to be with you and introduce you to my private eye noir series, The Ross Agency Mysteries. I've written five books so far in my series and I'm very excited that the sixth book in the series, Murder Take Two, comes out in February 2022. I want to tell you a little bit about the series as I've conceived it. I think of it as aimed at readers who like hard boiled stories, but are looking for easy to love characters. And that's what you'll find in this series. You will follow the exploits of a private eye in contemporary New York City, a Harlem based detective agency is where Rook works. And he works alongside two colleagues of father and daughter duo, the Rosses who are tough, dynamic and pretty handy with a gun as well. The Ross Agency's mission in their neighborhood is to serve their hard pressed community by addressing some of the tensions, some of the disruptions and concerns that fall below the radar of the police, but are very important to the members of the community to their neighbors. So this neighborhood agency doesn't usually handle murder, but when it arises, they're ready for it. He's an army veteran. He's smart. He's savvy. He's tough. He doesn't carry a gun. And that sets him apart from a lot of your other private eyes that you might have encountered. He is very agile with his fists. He's pretty quick witted with his, his thoughts and his words, and he's a lot of fun to follow on his journey through his neighborhood, and through his learning to become a private eye. Murder Take Two is, as I mentioned, the sixth in the series, but these are written as stand-alones. So I think it's very easy for you to jump right in, even with this most recent book. Obviously, you can certainly catch up with the adventures of Rook and his friends by reading earlier books in the series. I think these are ones that will reward the reader even if you jump in at the last, the last book Murder Take Two. So I hope you take time to look into Murder Take Two and my private eye, Rook. I hope that you will look for my books at the San Francisco Public Library and be sure to check them out at your favorite local indie bookstore as well. Thank you.
