BOOK 1: MISTY RIVER

In the small upstate town of Misty River, two seemingly unconnected crimes occur in the space of two years.

First, the town's beloved Italian baker is found lying in a pool of blood, with his head nearly severed from his body. The brutal, cold-blooded murder that shocked the residents of Misty River remained unsolved.

Two years later, school teacher Olivia Spencer is abducted and forced at gunpoint into the secluded woods along the Misty River, where she is brutally beaten and raped on Saint Patrick's Day night.

With this debut novel, David Franceschelli introduces Blake Moretti, the relentless prosecutor and his witty sidekick investigator. How and why these crimes are connected is up to relentless prosecutor Blake to determine. Blake devises a plan to trap the murderer. As he takes on the slippery murderer with all the answers, what was once a cold-case murder is now piping hot.

From the first heart-stopping line to the last, MISTY RIVER is a page-turner that will keep you up late into the night.

BOOK 2: WHISPERS FROM DARK WATERS

Four years after Sandy Blevins vanished without a trace, her skeleton emerges from the murky swamp of a wildlife reserve, plunging prosecutor Blake Moretti and his investigator, Ralph Morgan, into a web of deceit.

Armed with a psychic’s cryptic visions, their razor-sharp wits, and Moretti’s relentless pursuit of truth, they dig deeper, uncovering a cesspool of corruption where money talks and the powerful will do anything to keep the truth submerged. Blake and Ralph realize they’re stirring up more than mud when key witnesses die off one by one.

Caught in a breathless game of cat-and-mouse, Blake must navigate a lethal maze of lies and unravel a conspiracy before he becomes the next victim silenced by the swamp.
Can Blake resurrect Sandy’s buried truth and bring her justice? Or will he join her in the depths, forever entombed by the dark waters of greed and murder?

About the Author:
David Franceschelli grew up in Auburn, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes. A graduate of the University of Dayton School of Law, he spent three decades in the Montgomery County Prosecutors Office, prosecuting the kind of cases that keep small towns awake at night. With over two hundred murder trials and fifteen death penalty cases under his belt, he learned that every community has the deadliest secrets—and some will K*ll to keep them.

He traded Ohio’s courtrooms for the peaceful waters of North Carolina’s Lake Norman, where he now lives with his wife and their four cats (who plead the Fifth). In the Blake Moretti Thriller Series, he transforms his shadowy courtroom drama into page-turning suspense. Whispers From Dark Waters follows his acclaimed debut Misty River, diving deeper into the murky waters beneath small-town surfaces.
