VIRGINIA DOYLE IS convinced that her connection to an insurance fraud scheme has led to something she'd never bargained for - murder! Now she wants to come clean and it's up to Boston attorney Madeleine V. LaCroix and her colleague, James P. Hillton, an off-the-cuff P.I., to prove Doyle innocent. But, more bloodshed, extortion, unshakable alibis, a groovy professor, a by-the-book insurance investigator, and a religious fanatic all seem to conspire to thwart the investigation. Double Endorsement is an original, malice domestic mystery novel, which New York Times best-seller Robin Moore says "grips the reader's attention from start to finish."
COMBINING LEGAL KNOWLEDGE and splendid wit with actual criminal caselaw, Andrew McAleer, who is himself a criminal defense attorney, spins a genuine tale of mystery and suspense - both in plot and character!

"DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT had me guessing who the killer was right until the very end and was a wild ride through the land of mystery and brilliant detective work. I recommend this one for a quick read that keeps you on the edge of your seat and brings a smile to you face on more than one occasion as you turn the pages." |

"DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT is a punchy little romp, smart and savvy, a surprisingly brisk and literate little gem full of wit and humour. It could well be the start of a great series. I'm keeping my fingers crossed -- in these days of bloated, four and five hundred page mysteries that plod on slower than the continental drift, it's a genuine pleasure to see someone get in and get out in less than 200 pages, and still manage to tell a great story." |

"An intricate and original private eye mystery. Andrew McAleer's Double Endorsement grips the reader's attention from start to finish and is one of the most humorous novels I've read in a long, long time. A wit and pace reminiscent of P.G. Wodehouse." |
