“The always entertaining trio of Parker, Stan and Buffy are back and in top form . . . Manno delivers another witty, smart whodunnit with his second installment of the Parker Noble series. END OF THE LINE is a compulsive must-read mystery lovers will devour!”

Kali Van Baale, award winning author of The Space Between

"Mike Manno has given us a lot to like in End of the Line. A wonderful mystery, plenty of twists, it's also a story filled with humor, human interest, and a cop-hero you'd love to swap stories with over a couple of beers -- or some bad station house coffee."
