In Hell’s Kitchen Homicide, NYPD Detective Conor Bard investigates the murder of a Mafia lawyer. Along the way Conor meets an exotic, young Albanian woman named Monica. On Page 69, Conor learns about Monica’s life in Albania.Read an excerpt from Hell’s Kitchen Homicide, and learn more about the book and author at Charles Kipps's website.
A waiter arrived with menus. Monica scanned the page for a moment.
“Zuppa di porri,” Monica said. “Leek soup.”
“You like leeks?” Conor wanted to know.
“I like to eat them,” Monica replied. “But I didn’t like them so much when my mother baked them and then squeezed the liquid into my ear.”
Conor frowned. “Your ear?”
“That was the treatment for an earache in Albania. Squeezed leeks.”
“Did it work?” Conor asked.
“Yes.”
“Great. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever have an earache and can’t find a drugstore.”
Monica laughed. Conor was beginning to like the sound.
Page 69 represents a turning point in Hell’s Kitchen Homicide as Conor finds himself drawn in by the lovely Monica, who ultimately becomes a major character in the book.
