Forty-Deuce

Doherty, the rough and tumble former Brooklyn prosecutor who made his debut in The Ides of June, returns in Forty-Deuce. Along with his old Army pal, Hank Jackson, and his girlfriend, Dana McPherson, Doherty finds himself on a desperate search for a missing 14-year-old girl - a crucial witness Doherty needs in order to force a sadistic pervert out of the public school system. As the trio pursue their action-packed quest through the seamy streets of New York City to the staid mansions of Newport, RI, Doherty finds himself pitted against unknown forces also searching for the girl.

Stan Trybulski, the author of Forty-Deuce, is a graduate of Columbia University and Brooklyn Law School. He was a felony trial prosecutor for the district attorney's office in Brooklyn before going into private practice. Prior to becoming an attorney, Trybulski was a newspaper reporter, college administrator and bartender. His prior novels, The Gendarme and The Ides of June, have been well received. A native New Yorker, he has traveled the world extensively and now devotes his time between France and two acres of Connecticut tranquility. His next novel, One-Trick Pony, the third in the popular Doherty series, will be published early next year.
