About the Author

Blood Moon Rising, finalist for the 2019 Royal Palm Literary Award, is Richard Conrath's second novel in a trilogy featuring Cooper, a private detective, who searches for his young kidnapped son while trying to track down other missing people. Conrath is a former Catholic priest who left to teach philosophy in a small college while freelancing for papers like the Cleveland Plain dealer and Sunday Magazine. He left teaching in 1984 and began a series of three-year stints in administration as a college vice-president, president, and then as headmaster of an American school in Turkey. It was there, during the darkness of the Turkish winters, that he began to write his first mystery.

Editorial Reviews

"From the seamy sections of Miami Beach and the alligator infested Everglades, Cooper, along with his gang of mostly motley misfits and would-be thugs, traces a portrait of total despair interspersed with deep and unqualified love."

--David Harry Tannenbaum, Author, The Padre Puzzle series

"Cooper, our protagonist, is the smoothest customer you'll ever meet -- with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind, not to mention his fair share of faults and demons. Relentless in pursuit of justice and closure, "Coop" is the best combination of DeMille's Daniel "Mac" MacCormick (The Cuban Affair) and Connelly's Harry Bosch. Pick it up, buckle up, and read it like you stole it!"

--Tristram Coburn, Editor/Publisher
