His novel, City Wars, a futuristic thriller, is currently in development as a motion picture.

These People Know Whodunnit…  Author Dennis Palumbo


 “This sparkling assemblage features an assortment of fascinating and quirky characters, including a couple of amateur sleuths, a female psychologist who hasn’t thought through the perils of her occupation, and even a young clerk named Albert Einstein who solved a series of brutal murders while simultaneously striking a blow against anti-Semitism. But it’s the idiosyncratic members of the Smart Guys Marching Society that distinguish this collection. In updating the legendary Isaac Asimov’s crime solving Black Widowers, Palumbo adds a touch of Neil Simon to the mix, gathering his odd quintet of armchair sleuths each Sunday for deli, theorizing, philosophizing, arguing and, thanks to one mutton-chopped and brilliantly analytical member named Isaac, solving impossible crimes. Male bonding has seldom been more entertaining.”

“If only I were smart enough, I’d like to join the Smart Guys Marching Society! (Or should that be “If I was smart enough…”) See, that’s why I’m stuck just reading the stories and trying my best to keep up with the ingenious twists and turns. The Smart Guys are good company – and great story-tellers.”

-Robert Masello
Author of Vigil and Bestiary

 

 

“Smart and funny whodunnits… as if my own life isn’t hard enough to figure out.”
