Böcker av Howard Giordano

Writing short fiction for over twenty years, Howard Giordano has published seventeen different stories in an assortment of twenty-two literary magazines. One story was a finalist in a Glimmer Train Press contest. Another, a racetrack tale, was a contest finalist in The Thoroughbred Times, a national racing magazine, and published in their ten-year anthology of winning stories. In three consecutive annual contests sponsored by the Creative Writers Notebook, one of his stories placed first, and two others received honorable mentions. This short-story collection is close to his heart and provides the reader with a strong sample of his creative storytelling ability. HOWARD GIORDANO is a native of New York City. A successful career in advertising on Madison Avenue preceded a period with The New York Racing Association (Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga Racetracks) as Executive Director of Marketing and Television. Later, former NYC Mayor Ed Koch appointed him the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation president. Howard began his short-story writing career in 1990. His first full-length novel, a thriller, was published in 2011 and became an international contest award winner. Three more thrillers have since been released.

Howard Giordano's charismatic protagonist, Luke Rizzo, is back in The Dark Side of the City. In this story, Rizzo takes on the Mafia. Again collaborating with his favorite FBI agent, Rizzo brings down a flourishing money-laundering operation, all the while dodging the mob's many attempts to whack him. Giordano's story gives his fans another thrilling ride from the start of the book to the last sentence. BluewaterPress LLC published Giordano's debut thriller, Tracking Terror, in 2016. The novel became a bronze medal award winner in an international contest where the top-of-the-line thriller author, Daniel Silva, claimed the gold. A Hollywood production company optioned Tracking Terror for film. Giordano's next thriller, The Second Target, dealt with the theme of revenge, and the third thriller in the series, Crossing Into Darkness, combined the subjects of drug smuggling and human trafficking. Luke Rizzo is back. This time the Mafia is his target. Howard Giordano's third book in his page-turning series shows an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the mob. It's sure to raise the question of whether it's based entirely on his research . . . or is he a "made man?"John Wayne Falbey, author of the Sleeping Dogs series of geopolitical thrillers
