The Return to Sender Files
*PURCHASE FROM AUTHOR WEBSITE ONLY: MartinHermanAuthor.Com
In “The Return to Sender Files” we first find the usually quick-witted and resourceful investigator, Will James, in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
During the days he wanders the streets aimlessly, at night he walks the deserted beaches, often falling asleep by the ocean’s edge; mired in grief, self pity, and an unshakeable sense of guilt. He is still mourning the brutal murder of his long time business partner and friend, Bob Schless.
It has been just two months since the Schless funeral. On that evening he allocated funds to be set aside for Schless’s widow and children; he arranged for two of his employees to take over the day to day running of his business; threw a few personal items into a small duffle bag; and with less than twenty dollars in cash he hitch hiked to nowhere in particular. He wound up in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a distance of less than 50 miles from the Schless burial site and light years from the existence he had known.
Before long, James is dragged into an even darker nightmare involving one or more malicious cyber criminals, systematically bringing the world towards disaster as they pick away at businesses, governments, and the world’s banking systems.
As with each Will James Mystery, you will be introduced to a set of circumstances that appear to have little or no likelihood for a happily ever after ending, for anyone involved. You will be surprised at each turn because you can’t always be certain that the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t an oncoming train.
If you think you know how it will all end, guess again. The chances are that you will be wrong — so very, very wrong — because in a Will James Mystery, things are very rarely as they first seem to be.
You are about to be strapped into a rickety old roller coaster and you will feel as though you are being moved in various directions at the same time. Hold on to your hat it is going to be a long and bumpy ride…

About the author
Martin Herman
7 books32 followersMartin Herman was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and currently lives in Connecticut, midway up a small mountain.
For more than forty years he led a series of start-ups and troubled businesses towards stronger bottom line results, here and abroad.
Although he has written and published articles and short stories under a series of pen names since his early teens, it was not until he approached his 75th birthday that he published his first full length mystery novel, “The JeffersonFiles – the expanded edition” – a historical murder mystery, (now in its 8th printing).
The response from readers as young as 10 all the way up to a 93 to the protagonist, Will James, sparked enough interest to turn it into a series. With the launch of his newest novel, there are now four more novels in this series – “The Hidden Treasure Files” – an international thriller; “The Sweet Revenge Files” – a who dun nit that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page; , “The Return to Sender Files”, pitting Will James against a very clever cybercriminal who seems to be well on the way to bringing the entire civilized world to its knees and the newest novel in this series,.The 1st Tuesday of the Month Murder Files.
Late last year Martin released two new books. One, a book of short stories titled, “A Very Special Dress & Other Stories with his daughter Aimee, already a published author on her own, and a biography of a still active 93-year-old Hartford musician, Howard M. Hill.
He is currently writing a novel that follows eight generations of a family of grifters, scam artists, and swindlers who skillfully cheat the rich, the famous, and the infamous, over a 400 year period. Also scheduled for release in the next year is a book on business basics based on his 40 year career as a turn-around expert.
He also teaches writing at U-CONN, Waterbury, as part of their OLLI program.
