| A MAJOR PRODUCTION! - The 2nd Barney Moon Mystery |
|
New York P.I. Barney Moon doesn’t drive, and is stuck once again on the to-him alien planet known as Los Angeles.
“In this latest, hilarious installment of the Barney Moon Series, Moon finds himself back in Los Angeles and forced to take another whack at the whackos in one breakneck case of WEBIT? (Where Else But in Tinseltown?) after another. With A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, Sawyer takes his rightful place among the master-of-suspense giants.”
Andrew McAleer, author of the 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists and co-editor of Coast to Coast: Private Eyes from Sea to Shining Sea
To Barney’s relief, it’s only one or two nights in Nutsville, a total no-brainer quickie.

And luckily, with gorgeous, bright Melodie Seaver driving his rental - and helping him keep his head more-or-less straight. Except – wouldn’tcha know...? Barney quickly finds himself in the middle of several serious, very dangerous "Only in Doofustown" cases.
For starters, there’s this pair of massively, desperately bored Homeland Security Agents who see a way out via Hollywood Success (almost their only areas of agreement), plus a crooked talent agent, an obsessed, ambitious ADA, an ineptly-planned, fake-terrorist plot – based on a stolen screenplay – to attack L.A. Barney manages to clean up all of it - in ways not possible or even thinkable anywhere else - barely in time to rescue himself from execution by the mob.

| CROSS PURPOSES - The 1st Barney Moon, P.I. Mystery |
Manhattan Private Investigator Barney Moon can hack, charm or con his way into or out of damned-near anything.
Barney is driven — to solve cases, to nail bad guys, and to anyplace not reachable via the NY Subway.
Barney never learned to drive. And, like most born/bred New Yorkers, he regards pretty much anywhere else as “Out-of-Town.”
But there is one place for which he has a particular, lifelong aversion: Los Angeles, California (which he thinks of as an Alien Planet).
And — guess where he finds himself stranded?

“I fell in love with Barney Moon. So do most of the women he meets. Readers can only hope this is the start of a beautiful relationship – and a long-running series of its own.”
Sandra Murphy -- Kings River Life Magazine's Best Books of 2014
“Magnum P.I., Inspector Clouseau, Rockford, Mike Hammer and Barnaby Jones: Mix them all together in a blender and you won’t even come close so you better add a touch of Maxwell Smart to try and equal Barney Moon. He’s unique, smart, resourceful and daring. Take the ride with Barney and Melodie and find out what’s next.”
Fran Lewis - Reviewer
"Comic farce of Hiaasen-esque proportions, populated by all manner of rogues, ruffians, and refugees from a modern day Damon Runyon opus. Pure fun!"
Jon Land, Bestselling Author of The Tenth Circle & Strong Rain Falling

"NO PLACE TO RUN is a thrill-a-minute ride toward the darkest alley in the darkest part of the American government - that place where the sins of our intelligence agencies finally meet the blinding light of day. Members of the 9/11 Commission who read this compelling and entertaining novel will squirm."
Gerald Petievich - Author (& ex-Secret Service Agent) of THE
SENTINEL and TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.
"With NO PLACE TO RUN the talented Thomas B. Sawyer has written a powerful conspiracy thriller that grips you by the throat immediately and doesn't let go even after the breathless climax. That's because the questions it raises about hidden forces operating inside our government are staggering and important."
Ralph Pezzullo - New York Times-bestselling author of JAWBREAKER

What if -- today -- a young archaeologist
finds a tomb in the Utah Mountains,
containing 16 skeletons, 15 of which are
older than any ever found in the Americas,
but the 16th has silver fillings in his teeth
and a bullet in his wingbone?
And -- people start being murdered.
Because the 16th Man vanished in late
November, 1963, with proof of who really
killed President John F. Kennedy.
"…Blockbuster… I didn't want it to end."

"If many more thrillers this good appear in books-on-demand format, the world of publishing will be turned upside down."
Jon L. Breen – Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine
"...a fascinating, complex thriller with a unique structure, a compelling plot and a blockbuster ending."
Gerald Petievich – author -screenwriter of To Live and Die in L.A.
"Thomas B. Sawyer's The Sixteenth Man is at once a romantic and suspenseful thriller, a hardboiled private eye caper, a breathless chase story and a refreshing new take on one of the most profound true crime mysteries of the past century. Obsessed categorists will probably spend feverish hours trying to find a genre label that fits this powerhouse of a novel, but my suggestion is that you make better use of your time by just sitting back and letting Sawyer take you where he will. He knows the territory."
Dick Lochte – award-winning author of Sleeping Dog
