In honor of Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, LoRusso’s two other fiction works, Kindle editions; Peacemaking and Parallax will be offered for 99 cents the week of January 5th.

“I am very excited to be launching Hunting of Men on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day,” said author Lance J. LoRusso. “This book, the first in the Blue Mystery book series was a labor of love. I strived to create for the reader what really goes on in the investigation of a cold case and the concerns, hopes, and fears law enforcement officers face daily in the real world.

“Hunting of Men will take readers on a journey unlike any they have been on before,” continued LoRusso. “Much of the book is drawn from my workings in law enforcement and also of officers I know. The book creates in a fictional world the real-life workings and dangers that law enforcement faces daily and creates a character that I believe readers will come to cherish in each succeeding book in the series.”

In Hunting of Men, LoRusso draws upon his diverse law enforcement background that saw him work the street, serve as a trainer, hostage negotiator, and an investigator. The book launches the career of central character, Johnny Till who will be the key character in all the Blue Mystery books. The book’s title, Hunting of Men, is drawn from Ernest Hemingway’s quote, “There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” The mystery in Hunting of Men focuses upon a cold case murder.

Johnny Till is a force to be reckoned with as a new homicide detective for the Lawler County Police Department. As tradition demands, on his first day on the job, Till pulls a cold case file to investigate. The file in question is one that has haunted the department and community for years: the cold-blooded murder of Officer Michael Dunlap, gunned down in the black of night some twenty years earlier.

Now, in order to solve the murder and heal the victims left behind, Till must reopen old wounds and retrace the final days of Dunlap’s life. The journey will lead him down a rabbit hole to a darker, more sinister conspiracy, one that threatens to steal the lives of children around the world. In order to close this cold case, Till must not only come into his new role as a homicide detective, but face his own fears to truly become a hunter of men.

Parallax, written to provide engaging as well as accurate entertainment, is a series of fictional stories based on the harsh realities faced by law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties and stories recounted to LoRusso by officers over the years. Peacemaking was LoRusso’s first entry into the world of fiction, follows the journey of a police officer, Scotty Painter, in the aftermath of a shooting.
