About

The first novel in the series, “The Boss of Hampton Beach;” the second, “Hampton Beach Homicide;” the third, “Blood on Hampton Beach;” the fourth, ‘Honeymoon Hotel;” and the fifth, “Murder On the Island,” are all available in both paper and e-versions.

The real Dan Marlowe was Mr. Power’s father’s best friend. Mr. Marlowe wrote his crime masterpiece, “The Name of the Game is Death,” while living with the Power family in Woburn, MA.
