Henry Fox couldn't be happier with his life. His investigative business is thriving, his 5-year-old son is a delight, and his marriage is solid. But something is about to happen that will shatter that calm, and the story unfolds in a new mystery released by Dog Ear Publishing. In 'To Die for Art: A Henry Fox Mystery,' Henry and his best friend Jesse have a job to do: Recover stolen paintings from a wealthy client worth $20 million by giving the thieves $4 million from the insurance company. The late-night reconnaissance smells fishy, and their suspicions soon turn out to be true as a single bullet changes everything. The death devastates Henry, and after drowning his sorrows in a bottle for days he nearly loses control. That incident turns him around; he begins working out and rage begins to replace the sadness. A search for his friend's killers begins, with the backing of his beautiful wife Julia, even if she doesn't suspect he longs to act as judge, jury and executioner. He recruits jazz musician Silas James to help with the chase. A potential insider may have helped, and Henry finds the case may be more complicated than it appears. He and Silas will have to pursue the art thieves amid the glittery and danger of Las Vegas and the mean streets of Chicago before they find the answers they seek. A doppelganger for Henry seems to be stalking the investigator in his usual haunts, throwing everyone off their game. When they finally meet, Henry learns some unpleasant truths that alter his perceptions of the past. As the investigation drags on, Henry's rage against the killer continues to build. It will take all of Julia's wits and some help from friends new and old to bring him back from the edge of disaster. Weinstein, born and raised on Chicago's Southside, lives in Oxnard, Calif. The former advertising copywriter earned a Dog Ear Publishing Award of Literary Excellence for his second book featuring Henry Fox, 'In Murder's Wake.'

Author Shel Weinstein didn't have to look far for inspiration for the character who stars in his latest book, which has earned the Dog Ear Publishing Award of Literary Excellence. Like Weinstein, Henry Fox hails from the Windy City. 'I was born and raised in Chicago and the character is a Chicagoan,' Weinstein said. 'The plot is taken from real life - at least the bare bones - in that there was a scuba-diving accident where a body wasn't found and a large insurance claim.' (Weinstein's late wife worked as a paralegal at a law firm that defended claims against scuba-diving companies, and the case that inspired the novel was one the firm worked on.) 'I have no idea if that one was fraud or not, but it got me thinking,' he said. Sent in the 1960s, 'In Murder's Wake' stars insurance investigator Henry Fox, whose career has been going nowhere until he begins investigating the potential fraud case of a scuba diver who's gone missing just weeks after taking out a large insurance policy on himself. The case takes one twist after another, involving mobsters from Chicago and elsewhere and a mounting body count before all is revealed. Award of Literary Excellence winners are determined by Dog Ear's editorial team. The managing editor, editorial services manager and the publisher review its recommendations. The editor for 'In Murder's Wake' had nothing but praise for the book: 'This is by far the most well-written, well-executed novel I have ever edited. You masterfully developed the characters and the plot and have done an excellent job with pacing and dialog.' Weinstein takes pride in the novel's differences from other books. 'Henry isn't the genius detective that most people have come to expect. He's not the sharpest blade in the drawer, and he's the kind of guy if he can't understand it, he wants to beat the crap out of it. He's a tough guy,' he said. 'His eventual wife, Julia, is very much the brains of the operation.' And the novels don't follow the usual formula for thrillers. 'All the books (in the series) solve crime with street justice - they never rely on the legal system. Henry is kind of a thug, so he doesn't trust the police. So the solution at the end of the book always ends with street justice.' In addition, several of the characters provide diversity, including Henry, who is half Mohawk. 'There aren't too many of those (types of characters) around. If there's anything I like about the series, it's the interracial camaraderie between Henry and the others because they don't make a point of it at all - it's just there,' he said. Weinstein said the characters of Jesse and Silas were based on people he knew and grew up with, and he enjoys being able to include them 'without being preachy.' Thus far, all the reaction to the novel has been positive. A couple of book clubs are reading it now and promise to provide additional feedback. He also plans to hold book signings and talk to other book clubs. 'The first book (in the series) everybody seemed to love, so they were kind of waiting for this book,' Weinstein said. 'I was on Facebook with the information that it was coming, and people kept posting asking about when it was coming out... I think the difference between this one for the first book is that this book has perhaps a tad more humor than the first one, which was a little more on the dark side.' The former advertising copywriter, who has been writing all of his life, said the challenge in writing the sequel was how to convey the back stories of the characters without being too redundant and, at the same time, making it able to stand alone for those who had not read the first novel. He said the main characters practically wrote their own story, so that was not a problem. 'They were already written, so they took over and wrote themselves,' he said. Weinstein, who was born and raised on Chicago's Southside, now lives in Oxnard, Calif. He worked in advertising. This is the second book in Weinstein's Henry Fox series. 'Left Cross' was the first. The third book in the series will be set in the 1970s.

Tough Chicagoan Henry Fox is a disappointment to many around him - including himself. His career in insurance fraud investigation has been nothing but grunt work and minor arson scams, and his personal life is not much better. Imagine his surprise when he's assigned to investigate a scuba diver who has gone missing just weeks after buying an insurance policy. The case creates an unforgettable adventure in this new award-winning book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Everyone wishes Henry, who's pushing 30, would do more with his life. His Mohawk grandfather wants him to embrace his American Indian roots, his friends want him to fully commit to his girlfriend, and his boss wishes he'd be more predictable and toe the company line. Things change when he's unexpectedly assigned to find out what might have happened to Ray Maliff, who disappeared during a dive off Catalina Island in California. His fate is Henry's problem because Ray had just bought an insurance policy for $250,000, worth double if he dies in an accident. Despite his surprise at being given the case and the motives behind the assignment, Henry plunges in; but he doesn't have all the information, he learns to his surprise, and Ray's widow is not what he expected. Mobsters from Vegas with ties to Chicago make their presence known, and the bodies begin piling up. Henry finds life beginning to go his way, thanks to a change, but the case refuses to go away. It will take all of Henry's cunning - and that of his new partner - to resolve it and leave murder in their wake. 'In Murder's Wake' takes readers on an unforgettable adventure set against the backdrop of 1960s Chicago, glamorous Las Vegas and gritty Los Angeles, and it's earning rave reviews. 'The Southside of Chicago's 1950s comes alive in this entertaining and fast-paced action/thriller,' writes John Shehorn, author of 'Unexpected Hero.' 'Follow Detective Henry Fox as he stumbles through criminal investigations utilizing brawn more than brains,' writes Sheli Ellsworth, book critic and author of 'The Psychoanalysis of Everyday Life. 'A truly exciting read.' Weinstein, who was born and raised on Chicago's Southside, now lives in Oxnard, Calif. This is the second book in Weinstein's Henry Fox series. 'Left Cross' was the first.
