The Cole Madison Trilogy

The Cole Madison Trilogy by Raymond Starmann
If you like mystery and adventure, you will like Cole Madison, the American PI in Germany.  The three stories that make up the trilogy are:

Double Tap - Madison is on the trail of a murderer who knocked-off a wealthy, philandering banker, Arno von Ringbach. Madison gets knocked around a bit as well. With enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, this fast-paced story will make you want to read more of Cole's adventures.

Lest We Forget - In the second story, Madison is driving home one night, when he sees flames billowing in the distance above his home town, Buedingen, Germany. Arriving on the scene, he learns a friend of his, Hannelore Feldman, an aging Holocaust survivor died in the blaze that also levelled her place of business, the Cafe Buedingen. Madison suspects arson. He follows a trail of blood, guts and horror as he battles Neo-Nazi thugs and stays one step ahead of his best friend, KRIPO(Criminal Police), Inspector Kurt Ginther. Multiple suspects and red herrings appear and disappear as Madison adds up the evidence and learns the cold, hard truth behind the macabre crime.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - Cole follows a trail that leads him to kidnappers, heroin dealers and the stolen art world. Multiple twists and turns, and Cole really gets put through the ringer as well.

All three stories are well written, exciting and an entertaining read.  I personally hope to see more Cole Madison stories in the future.  All are available on Kindle right now, separately and as a trilogy.  If you don't have a Kindle, the trilogy should be out in print soon.  In fact, if you would like to read the stories in print form, please leave a comment so I can  let the author know the interest level.

Happy reading!
