Sneak Peek: Born to Die – The Montauk Murders

The Montauk MurdersToday we get a sneak peek of author L.A. Lewandowski’s murder mystery, Born to Die – The Montauk Murders:

Born to Die – The Montauk Murders is set amongst the glitz and glamour of the Beau Monde. The 80th birthday of Miranda Richards, an art-world icon, boasts the party of the summer at her exclusive mansion on Long Island.

Follow Detective Steele as he sifts through the evidence before the killer strikes again.

Born to Die – The Montauk Murders is available for Kindle on Amazon.com. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: Born to Die – The Montauk Murders”
