The dark side of a full moon

Petrillo grabs you from the beginning with a well written hook. Fast pacing keeps you reading and the ending does not disappoint. The setting descriptions from flaring gas lamps on Race Street to Sheffield Green give the reader a feeling of being in Newcastle during 1902. We go with Anne as she crosses Northumberland Street and the old Barras bridge to the Hay Market where she purchases a hot baked potato for a penny. Chilling murder and frightening English lore combine to hold the reader. We were engrossed from page one to the end in this classic tale of horror. Authors Bill and Suzanne Mortimer Los Angeles, CA.

Don't Miss The Full Moon

Dear Beloved Reader, Fasten your seat belt. Welcome to a true transport novel. Petrillo is in the driver's seat, and he will take you to Newcastle, England at the turn of the nineteenth century, in a passionate search for the "Werewolf" killer. Whether you are sitting on the tram with the killer, riding on the back of a horse driven coach en route to his house, or stalking him in a beautiful English park at night, the author is there with you, unfolding his drama with characters pulsating with life. I love what he says on Page 125: "Indeed, the cast of characters in this melodrama is a bit on the odd side of unusual." This is a magnificently written book, carefully crafted with subtle details that bring it to life. His writing is a mix of Hemingway and A. Conan Doyle. When I was a child and sick, my father would sit in a wingback arm chair and read the Holmes stories: this is that kind of book. Please join me in welcoming a great new writer onto the American literary stage.. With best wishes for an exciting journey of the mind, Thomas Weisman
