Tony "Smokey" Annicelli
Created by Ralph Pezzullo

Another POD eye. Grit is promised.

Disgraced, washed-up NYPD cop SMOKEY ANNICELLI is a man with a troubled past and a not so great present, who's hired to track down a high-class fashion model with a plenty of problems of her own in Eve Missing (2003), a promising debut by Ralph Pezzullo.

Author Pezzullo wears, we are assured, "many different literary hats" and is "quite a character in person and on the page."

UNDER OATH

• "Pezzullo is a welcomed breath of fresh air in a genre filled with many bland stories."
  (Phillip Tomasso III)
  .
• "There's plenty of action and sex, some truly memorable characters (particularly Smokey himself) and a pleasingly convoluted mystery with a satisfyingly memorable climax. Even better, it's refreshing to see a protagonist actually forced to deal with the aftermath of being shot, in a genre where that is a very real occupational hazard."
  (Dale Stoyer, Thrilling Detective Web Site)
