<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Murder leads to the White House</b> <p/> Marko Zorn, a Washington, D.C. homicide detective with expensive tastes in art, classic cars, and women, must take on extra work--not always strictly legal, often unorthodox and usually dangerous--to supplement his income--work which requires his special combination of skill and steel nerves. Although he's adept at navigating the corridors of law enforcement and the world of criminal gangs, he'd prefer to stay home and watch old movies, enjoy his art collection, and listen to cool jazz. <p/> When Zorn discovers the body of a Secret Service agent--a supposed drowning victim--it leads him to a domestic terrorist group with tentacles in the White House--a White House that does not want this death investigated. As the demands of his professional life escalate, Zorn's alternate career heats up, placing him in the middle of competing D.C. crime bosses feuding over a shipment of illegal arms--making Zorn the hunted and the hunter. He needs to avoid becoming the victim as he navigates the twin forces of evil closing in on him from his legitimate job--facing down political power--and his secret side job. <p/><b>Perfect for Grisham and Patterson fans</b> <p/><i>Head Shot</i>, the next Marko Zorn novel, coming December 2021<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Rough and ragged as the world it so vividly creates, <b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b> crackles with twists and turns, making for a fun and heady combination of suspense and intrigue." --Steve Berry, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> "<b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b> is a mystery-thriller constructed along classic lines. In unorthodox homicide detective Marko Zorn, Otho Eskin has created the best crime hero this side of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and the result is a slam-dunk success. Woven from the fabric of masters like Ross McDonald and Robert Crais, this riveting page-turner is never afraid to cut its own cloth to terrific results." --Jon Land, <i>USA Today</i> best-selling author <p/> "<b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b> by Otho Eskin is the best crime thriller I've read in years, and homicide Detective Marko Zorn is a character I'd like to have a beer with--so long as he's on my side. Bravo!" --John Gilstrap, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> "An authentically nail-biting thriller--it's Robert B. Parker meets David Baldacci in this fast-paced page-turner. Otho Eskin has created such a brilliant character in his Marko Zorn: wise and eloquent, witty, and surprising. And quietly, heartbreakingly, brave. This chilling political thriller is wonderfully textured with a high-stakes emotional drama--and I could not turn the pages fast enough. <b><i>Head Shot</i></b> is instantly cinematic--and completely entertaining!" --Hank Phillippi Ryan, <i>USA Today</i> best-selling author <p/> "Readers will look forward to seeing more of Zorn, a distinctive lead with his dry humor, clipped dialogue, and rogue tendencies. Eskin is off to a good start." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "First-person action mixes with hardboiled political noir in Eskin's debut novel [<b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b>] . . . Urban warfare, assassination plots, and political intrigue converge in one bombastic climax." --<i>Suspense Magazine</i> <p/> "<b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b> has the kind of unexpected plot twists and turns that keeps the reader's riveted attention from beginning to end." --<i>Midwest Book Review</i> <p/> "Filled with witty personalities and shady power players, <b><i>The Reflecting Pool</i></b> is a fast-paced D. C. murder mystery where the stakes and suspense reach monumental heights." --<i>The Foreign Service Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Otho Eskin</b> is a lawyer and a former member of the United States Foreign Service.
