Book description
Astrological detective David Lowell must use his charts and knowledge
to solve the murder of a federal judge in a New York City parking
garage. Joined by his daughter, Melinda, a young defense attorney; his
hacker sidekick Mort; vivacious assistant Sarah; and bodyguard Andy,
Lowell is racing against time to prove the innocence of Johnny Colbert,
a loud mouthed bartender wrongly accused of the crime. Birth charts and
street smarts help Lowell sort out the misdirections of a cast of
characters, from the judge's clerk and her lawyer boyfriend to the judge
herself, to trace the real reason of the crime back to a surprising
source. Murder in the 11th House begins a new series that introduces a
unique character to the annals of detective fiction. Mitchell Scott
Lewis has been a practicing astrologer and teacher in New York City for
more than twenty years. For a dozen years, he worked on the Mercantile
Exchange as an astro?economist, where he authored a newsletter, “Trading
By Starlight.” He has appeared on 20/20 and been quoted in Barron's, the
New York Post and other publications. In his newsletters, radio and TV
appearances, and lectures at the Princeton Club from 1999?2009, he
successfully predicted a year in advance the rise of oil prices, the
exact top of the housing market, the deterioration of the mortgage
business, the current recession, and the 2008 stock market crash, all of
which happened within days of his predictions. His clientele include
leading financiers, health professionals, show business figures and
people from all walks of life. He has been invited to lecture at the
next United Astrology Conference in 2011, the largest assembly of
astrologers in America. Mitchell is also an accomplished jazz pianist
and singer?songwriter with a nationally?charted single. His father, to
whom this book is dedicated, was Irwin Lewis, novelist and author of
dozens of radio and early TV shows, including Suspense Theatre.
