The New England Thrillers
Explore the gripping six-book crime mystery series by Stephen A. Nolan. Spanning all six distinct New England states, each novel follows Ted McQuick—a retired businessman and dedicated reserve police officer—as he uncovers buried secrets, historic grievances, and chilling homicides. Readers are encouraged to experience the journey starting in New Hampshire.
Book one: Children of Granite
Some secrets are buried deep in the soul. Others are hidden in the blood.
In the quiet, tight-knit community of Bolton, New Hampshire, everyone knows their neighbors—or so they think. For retired businessman and reserve police officer Ted McQuick, life has settled down after the death of his wife. During the investigation of a minor burglary, the peace shatters when a brutal murder rocks the sleepy town, exposing dark currents running beneath the surface.
As Ted digs into the case, he uncovers a chilling connection to a series of secretive child adoptions and illegal baby selling that took place thirty years ago. Armed with modern genealogy tools and DNA profiling, Ted must untangle a web of deception before the killer strikes again.
Upcoming Sequel: Karaoke Lion
The saga continues across state borders in book two, Karaoke Lion, set against the vibrant, complex backdrop of Massachusetts.
In this upcoming case, Ted McQuick is pulled into an investigation surrounding a decades-old child murder. As they dig into the case, Ted and Ashley uncover a long-buried cover-up.
The remaining four novels in the series are currently in the design phase, each destined to explore the distinctive atmosphere, local tensions, and authentic personality of its own New England state.
