Local author Frank Grady presents new book

BONSALL − Local author Frank J. Grady is pleased to present the publication of his debut novel, "Mermaid Jewels."

In Grady's murder mystery, protagonist Mike Fitzgerald is an ex-jewel thief trying to go straight, but since his release from prison, someone has been committing robberies and framing him. Fitzgerald finally gets a break when a wealthy couple hires him to draw a mural at their mansion, but his dreams of success soon dissolve when the wife is murdered in a botched robbery of jewels worth ten million dollars.

Fitzgerald is the prime suspect left with only two choices: find the real killer, or spend the rest of his life on the run.

Grady has worked as a copywriter for five of the largest advertising agencies in New York City, and was also a partner and creative director of a mid-size Newport Beach ad agency. He now works as a freelance writer for ad agencies and companies throughout the country, and lives with his wonderful wife, Renee, and two Dalmatians, on a ranch in Bonsall. He is currently working on his second novel, which is also a murder mystery.
