About the Author

"Silk on the Rocks" is the second installment of the Philadelphia OCTF crime series. The author, David S. Tanz, is a graduate of Boston University and currently resides in Voorhees, New Jersey. His first novel, A Shot of Brandi, also combines his interests of true crime stories, forensics, and the unique flavor of the Philadelphia area. Being an avid reader of mainstream fiction, his work captures the imagination and agenda's of those who function on the fringes of society's norms. His other interests include food, gourmet cooking and travel, which all are included to add a realistic and identifiable touch to his work. His two cats, Sonny and Cee patiently waited long hours to be fed in order to speed up the novel's completion

Reviews

There’s no sophomore slump for Tanz as he brings his Philly style back to this cat-and-mouse crime story that weaves together the lives of two serial killers. Bruce Titell is a classic computer geek: His life revolves around computing power, processors and software updates. His wife, thinly fleshed-out Julie Donovan, has repaid his lack of interest in their marriage with multiple affairs, all procured from online “cheaters” websites. After her shocking death in a car crash, Titell takes his deep-seated rage and fuels it into a revenge plot that ultimately involves murdering women who stray. Tanz crosses his story with that of mob hit man Julian Gando, a Philadelphia transplant whose life revolves around killing and his former-call-girl live-in love, Bryant Merril. Bruce and Julian are both being watched by the city’s top-notch Organized Crime Task Force, whose undercover cops and computer code crackers doggedly pursue the blood-soaked criminals. Tanz creates a wickedly twisted world, although Titell’s transformation from upstanding businessman to crazed murderer is a bit rushed. Yet it’s hard to put the book down because Titell and Gando pursue their crimes in such a heartless, detailed fashion.
