'Fallen Angels'

From Amazon "Dominic Lagan writes a superb Hollywood whodunit based on true life events in Fallen Angels: A Blackwood McCabe Hollywood Mystery. On February 2, 1922, legendary movie director, William Desmond Taylor was found murdered in his Hollywood home. The media frenzy and findings that followed shook the core of Hollywood's elite. The life of this acclaimed director played out like a well-written whodunit script straight out of the films that Taylor directed. Blacky McCabe, an ex-marine and expert in protecting the studio from scandal and known as the "fixer" in the upper crust circles of Tinsel Town is hired to ensure that the tabloids and the media get the "right" story. Two suspects are Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter, both celebrities and both with a romantic interest in Taylor. Then there's Angelo Dragna, alleged boss of the West Coast drug business and one of Taylor's friends. Who killed Taylor? What killed Taylor-a jealous rage as a result of a love triangle or a drug lord seeking vengeance? Drugs and sex seem to be the elements, but only one man can cover it up and make it all go away-McCabe is determined to save Hollywood's fallen angels. Lagan's plot line is razor sharp and has all the elements of a well-crafted murder/suspense-a page turner from the first chapter. Author Bio: Dominic Lagan is a writer, installation artist and gallery curator living in France."

'The Coming Storm'

From Amazon: "This is a novel in the 'Red Mannion' series. Set in the days before the outbreak of the Civil War, 'The Coming Storm' is another taut historical thriller from Dominic Lagan. In 1861 Lincoln made plans to travel by train to Washington to be sworn in as President of the United States. Southern secessionists were determined to stop him becoming President and they had hired 'The Carpenter' ( the South's dealiest assassin) to do it. All that stood between Lincoln and certain death by the Carpenter's needle sharp awl was Red Mannion, hired by the legendary private eye, Allan Pinkerton, to protect the President-elect. The Coming Storm tells the thrilling true story of what history calls the 'Baltimore Plot'. If you are interested in Lincoln and the Civil War (or just like a rattling good yarn), this is the book for you."

'Live Free or Die'

From Amazon: "Dominic Lagan finally solves the two hundred year old mystery of whether Louis XVII, Marie Antoinette's son and boy king of France, survived the French revolution. Did he really escape from the dreaded Temple prison in revolutionary Paris having been rescued by the legendary spy, the Marquis de Born, sent by the British? Or did he die in solitary misery as Robespierre had planned? Another riveting historical thriller from the pen of Dominic Lagan (author of 'The Coming Storm' and 'Fallen Angels').
