PITTSBURGH NATIVE HIGHLIGHTS CITY’S ICONIC THREE RIVERS ARTS FESTIVAL IN 8TH BOOK, ‘THE PADRE PIRATE’

PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Inspired by his love of Pittsburgh, its unique charm, and the thriving art scene around town, David Harry is gearing up to launch his best friends and key protagonists, Jimmy Redstone and Angella Martinez on yet another wild adventure; this time leaving South Padre Island, Texas and traveling to Pittsburgh. ‘The Padre Pirate’ is the 8th novel in Harry’s Padre Series.  This fictional tale features beloved characters, Jimmy and Angella, this time working as insurance company investigators. The two are tasked to find a valuable missing bronze sculpture known as the Pirate. The trail takes them to Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Arts Festival where they become embroiled in the dark underbelly of the international art world where originals and fakes are routinely interchanged and where terrorists’ money laundering is coordinated by a Mexican drug lord. Wrapped into the mix is the Israeli Mosad on the trail of Holocaust art, rumored to contain the assumed names of Nazi war criminals.

Early reviews of this new thriller are proving ‘The Padre Pirate’ is a must read. Pat McGrath Avery, author of Spirits of the Sodus Bay Shakers said, “David Harry’s vivid imagination seemingly knows no bounds…(he) successfully combines his knowledge of the art world, his legal experience, and his intense curiosity to produce yet another winner in The Padre series.” Others agree, “You will feel like you’re sitting in the jury box watching a defense attorney try to keep her client out of the Big House.”

On Thursday, September 12th at 7pm, Harry will be hosting a behind-the-scenes discussion and book signing at Mystery Lovers Bookshop for ‘The Padre Pirate’. For details or to reserve a seat for this free event, visit www.MysteryLovers.com/Event.

All of Harry’s books can be purchased on Amazon.com, locally at Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, or at Paragraphs on Padre Blvd in South Padre Island, Texas.
