When FitzHugh Donovan, retired NYPD Police Chief, gets a call for help from the mysterious old woman who lives next door to him in Greenwich Village, he doesn’t have a clue that an unspeakable crime from the past is about to be freed from Pandora’s Box.

"A MURDER ON JANE STREET is a gripping summer thriller filled with history, adventure, and an intriguing mystery. Cathy Cash Spellman will keep readers on the edge of their seat"
Charles Brokaw
NYTimes Bestselling author of The Atlantis Code

When the old woman is murdered and the police write it off as a random home invasion, he doesn’t yet know that a wall of international conspiracy and corruption stands in the way of getting justice for this cipher of a woman, who was so much more than she appeared.

But, the old lady asked him for help and died hard before he could give it. His Irish cop conscience can’t abide that. Fitz gathers a quirky band of family and friends to help him ferret out the truth.

The shocking secret she died to protect, the willingness of ordinary people to do the right thing, and a couple of unexpected love stories will keep your heart on edge as Fitz races to find a way to keep the people he loves alive in the face of terrible odds.
Characters you’ll care about, dark, shocking secrets and disturbing similarities to today’s political scene will keep you turning pages to an ending you won’t see coming.

Do NOT read this book unless you’re willing to be seduced by a dozen incredibly keen people without whom the world as we know it might cease to exist.

Cathy paints a picture with the most radiant phrasing and colorful words!  I’m a fan of her books and have read every one of them, always wishing that she’ll write more! That hope was answered with A MURDER ON JANE STREET.  This compelling gem of a mystery is also a history, a conspiracy, and a modern-day morality tale rolled into one. Yes there is a murder, deadly secrets and treachery, but at its heart, it’s also about family, friendship and having the courage to do the right thing in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. This brilliant author has created yet another home run! Her narrative, coupled with an edge-of-your-seat contemporary mystery thriller, have characters that warmed my heart and an unexpected ending that I absolutely LOVED!

…Cathy Cash Spellman hits all the marks of an exceptional writer of fiction: Her characters are vivid and memorable; she tells a riveting story replete with well-chosen details; and she accomplishes all that with a fine-tuned ear for dialogue and a skilled choice of words. A woman “sweeps into the room like a galleon in full sail” and a stalwart Texas lady takes her coffee “strong enough to raise a blister on a boot.” All the while, A Murder on Jane Street is infinitely more than a cop story, as the brutalization of an elderly lady on Jane Street in New York’s Greenwich Village sets off an inquiry that takes the reader deep into World War II history, dark secrets and frightening conspiracies. While A Murder on Jane Street is decidedly fiction, it is also a well-researched historical tale that weaves facts and conjecture deftly into an unsettling tapestry that cannot help but remind us of America’s current political climate. One might call this excellent book “prescient fiction”, much like Orwell’s 1984. I shall miss the Donovans and Jane Street! Please more.

Well crafted story set in New York City with a retired Chief of Police and his interesting and colorful family of three generations surreptitiously trying to figure out who and why a 90 year old neighbor was murdered…Total page-turner.
