David Franceschelli worked for decades prosecuting murder cases in
Montgomery County. Franceschelli is retired and keeps busy now writing books featuring Blake Moretti, a DA who prosecutes killers. On the job training for a novelist could not get much more real than that as Franceschelli knows the ins and outs of courtroom dramas, having lived them for so many years. Franceschelli worked on more than 200 homicide trials.
In his latest "Whispers from Dark Waters," the second book in the
series, Moretti finds himself in mortal danger as he attempts to convict
a killer who is deeply connected with the political power structure of
the area. The killer's father is a powerful, corrupt judge. Witnesses
keep dying mysteriously — if Moretti isn't careful, he could be next.
Note: During this interview the author revisited some of the actual
cases he worked on. The details can be a bit gruesome so be warned and bear that in mind while you listen.
