Tim Co*ckey Books Overview
The Hearse You Came in On
What self respecting undertaker would allow himself to get involved in a murder investigation, a series of dirty videos, a case of political blackmail, and police corruption, as well as one of the worst amateur theater productions in recent memory? None, unless your name happens to be Hitchcock Sewell, the most charming suspense hero to come along in years. And who knew an undertaker could look so good? In this fast paced and enormously entertaining mystery, Hitch has gotten himself into more trouble than any self respecting undertaker should.
Hearse of a Different Color
Hitchcock Sewell, Baltimore’s hippest undertaker and civilian sleuth, is back in a second sly, original mystery. One of the most charming and offbeat amateur detectives to come around in years, Hitchcock Sewell does for the undertaking profession what Marilyn Monroe did for the ukulele gives it a touch of class. In this rollicking follow up to Tim Co*ckey’s ‘witty, punchy, snappy, well written, and dang funny debut’ Harlan Coben, author of The Final Detail, a surprise blizzard dumps more than snow on the steps of Sewell & Sons funeral home it leaves behind the corpse of a murdered waitress as well. Hitch’s television meteorologist girlfriend sees the crime as an opportunity to move into hard news. Her unctuous mentor wants to beat Hitch to the punch. Hitch’s snooping takes him from low life strip joints to high tone mansions, proving yet again that undertakers and their clue happy cohorts can be a pretty lively bunch.
The Hearse Case Scenario
‘An undertaker detective you’ll really dig’ People Hitchcock Sewell is once again cruising for trouble. It’s no wonder that Publishers Weekly raved about Tim Co*ckey’s second novel, Hearse of a Different Color, calling it ‘highly entertaining and well written’ in a starred review. Or that Janet Evanovich called his first book, The Hearse You Came In On, ‘a fun and frantic ride.’ Co*ckey’s irresistible hero, Hitchcock Sewell, is fast establishing himself as the most charming and good looking undertaker ever to solve a mystery and get beat up in the process. Co*ckey’s new novel finds Hitch up to his ears in murders, and the latest clues point to a Baltimore nightclub. Following his nose, Hitch uncovers a host of nefarious goings on as well as some downright strange characters, including a felonious artist, a Miles Davis wanna be, an Ida Lupino look alike, and one very irritated dance instructor. Put them all together, throw in a bag full of cash and an incriminating Polaroid, and you have another surefire, humor laced hit from one of the freshest voices writing in the mystery world today.
Murder in the Hearse Degree
ibby, a former flame of Hitchcock Sewell, has returned to town with her two children, but minus one husband and one nanny. Libby’s husband has been accounted for she left him back in Annapolis. However, the nanny, Sophie, is truly missing. As soon as Hitch starts to nose around, Sophie turns up literally in the Severn River. She’s quite dead, and just a little bit pregnant. The police suspect suicide, but Sophie’s mom is adamant it’s murder. Hitch’s sense? He sides with the mother. Racing around town, Hitch finds more questions than answers. Murder in the Hearse Degree is another pitch perfect mystery in a series that never disappoints, always surprises, and keeps the laughs and corpses rolling right along.
