About the Author, Fred Lichtenberg
Fred Lichtenberg is a native New Yorker who resides with his wife in Jupiter, Florida. He has one son. After spending a career as a Field Agent with the IRS, Lichtenberg changed gears from crunching numbers to creating fictitious villains and heroes. Hunter’s World (currently titled The Art of Murder), the first book in the Hank Reed Series, starts with the murder of an outside celebrity living in a small community on Long Island. Lichtenberg’s second book, Murder on the Rocks, takes Hank Reed (now a Suffolk County Detective) in search of a missing person presumably involved in a whistleblower investigation.
The Edge of Murder, Lichtenberg’s third book, shifts Hank from a detective to a private investigator, where he searches for a missing woman.
Hank Reed latest addition (The Bridge to Murder #4), is his most personal and challenging, when the sister of his childhood friend, who disappeared twenty-five years ago, and charged with murdering a young woman under the Whitestone Bridge, in Queens, New York, receives an anonymous letter claiming her brother was innocent.
Another hoax? Maybe, but as Hank plunges into the cold case, he quickly realizes there is more to the story. As he relentlessly investigates, past sinister players are working against him. Will Hank find them before they shut down the investigation? And Him?
Lichtenberg’s stand-alone novels include: Double Trouble; Deadly Heat at The Cottages: Sex, Murder, and Mayhem; Murder 1040: The Final Audit; and the humorous, Retired: Now What?
Lichtenberg also wrote The Second Time Around…Again, a one-act play about finding love in a nursing home, performed at the Lake Worth Playhouse.
Lichtenberg is an active member of the Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers.
