Death But No Taxes

by Daniel J. Barrett

Overview

After ten years in the Coast Guard, graduation from the Academy, and receiving his MBA, Joe Traynor takes his first real job at a small nonprofit agency in Albany, New York, working to help impoverished youth.

As the bodies begin to pile up, Joe can only hope that he and his friends can stop the gang responsible before any more people are killed...

He has extensive international experience, traveling worldwide.

Barrett has also served as the first executive director for economic development for a county in New York State, and as the first lay director for a Catholic shrine in Massachusetts. For the last twenty years, he has served as a financial, strategic planning, and educational consultant to corporations, non-profit organizations, colleges and universities, and government agencies.

Currently, he serves as a grant writing and development and strategic planning consultant for a major non-profit organization in the Capital Region of New York State. Barrett continues to live in Troy and has been married to his wife, Sandy, for 43 years. They have three children, Sean, Eileen, and Ryan, and four grandchildren, Shannon, Caden, Megan, and Declan.

An avid reader, and inspired by numerous authors, Barrett has read over 1,300 books in the last five years in preparation to write his first novel, Conch Town Girl. He continues to work, as a consultant, serving those most at risk in the Capital Region, and is now working on his next novel.

Editorial Reviews

I enjoyed the book immensely. It was nice to see where it all started, and meet the early characters I'd heard about in the other books. A good read.

The story is fast-paced and exciting with the extra appeal of seeing familiar characters before the regular series take place. I liked getting to know Joe when he was young and idealistic. An excellent addition to this intriguing series.
