Zale Flannery

Easy Murder Zale Flannery

In EASY MURDER, Zale Flannery exposes the story of the life of Danny Russo, the handsome and well dressed ultimate con man in all of its sleazy and duplicitous nature. In prose reminiscent of Mickey Spillane, Danny's bravado works until his pride brings it all down. Based on a true murder story from New England in the 1950s, Zale Flannery catches the simplicity of everyday working-class life against the high-flying desires of someone who believes he is truly "the smartest man around." Covering the background of Danny's heritage in a small Italian town to the booming industry of post World War II America, the story builds to the climatic courtroom scene when it is all over. Nearly 60 years later, Zale Flanner captures the incredible moments of Danny's life and what it felt like to around such a man.
