TOO MANY BRIDGES

An eyewitness to a murder calls the Pittsburgh police from one of the city’s 446 bridges, then disappears.  To solve the case, the police must find the bridge.  But where to start?  Detective Branko Radic and Officer Kathleen Mulroy seek help from a nun, a professor, a mechanic, and a tattoo artist.  They learn of a family feud, a business in trouble, some sketchy Harry Potter merchandise, and a missing young woman.  If only they can find the right bridge, they might be able to put it all together.

But sometimes, a case is like a funhouse mirror at an amusement park.  You have to adjust to the distortions in order to perceive the truth.

“Bill Gormley has produced a tightly written debut police procedural reminiscent of Ed McBain’s finest.  Too Many Bridges takes the reader on an insider’s tour of Pittsburgh, from its homeless encampments to its popular attractions.  And, of course, of so many bridges under which evil may lurk.” 

~ Annette Dashofy, USA Today bestselling author

of the Zoe Chambers and Detective Honeywell Series

“In Too Many Bridges, Bill Gormley takes a fresh approach to the police procedural.  A sizzling whodunit that’s also a wheredunit, focusing on an elusive bridge.  May there be many more Radic and Mulroy adventures ahead.”

and former Senior Copy Editor on CNN’s The Situation Rom with Wolf Blitzer

“I loved this evocative mystery’s strong sense of place and compelling characters.  It offers plot twists and turns you won’t see coming, a smart detective who earns your respect, and a different perspective on the world.  Bill Gormley has written a page-turner that will leave you eager for more.”
