Dear Reader,

Thirty years of law enforcement with a major police agency would provide any retired cop with enough career experience to write any book, fiction or non-fiction. I originally started by documenting true life experiences, then realized I could tell more of these stories by embellishing and expanding the fertile imagination, using those real-life people as composite subjects for fictional characters and real-life events as the basis for plots. As I delved more into fiction, I saw where I could not only tell a suspenseful story, but deliver messages to the reader about the many problems inherent within the police profession in today’s complex world of crime and injustice.

Please explore this web site which has many interesting facets, including my list of books available for purchase (signed) most at a discount, plus music (violin), art, young talent promotions with the Creative Arts Foundation of Brevard, Seminars, Book Fairs, and my blog link (Frankly Speaking) where you will find on-going and stimulating articles about politics, radical Islam, criminal justice, movie reviews, and much more, and where readers are free to engage in comment and dialogue.

DIRE STRAITS

DIRE STRAITS, Third Edition, 2021
ISBN  978-0-9949809-9-1
Published by Everly Books

A gripping, suspense-filled police thriller set amidst the exotic ambience of Miami, Florida, where sex, violence and corruption is the trademark of life in the fast lane. Cuban-born homicide detective, Mike Estevez, responds to a posh suburban mansion to investigate a grisly mass murder. The ensuing week drives the top cop to the edge of personal disaster as he not only hunts for a rampant serial killer, he must grapple with a gut-wrenching dilemma that no one else must know about. Meanwhile, the search is on for a surviving witness known only as Mirage who spends a harrowing seven days stalked by a relentless killer while she frantically conceals her identity from police and family. Tension remains high throughout this suspense drama which presents an engaging cast of characters in and out of the police ranks. The novel will be hauntingly familiar to many Americans who have dealt with obsession and conflict between love of family and love of career. It also tells about municipal politics, internal corruption, incompetency, prejudice, realistic crime scene investigation, sex and violence, Miami style. This novel is not for the light-hearted. The author is a former Miami-Dade County homicide investigator who brings authenticity to scenes of murder and violence, as well as the seedy side of police conduct only a cop would know.

AMERIKASTAN – Conquest From Within

AMERIKASTAN – Conquest From Within

Everly Books Publishing Group| December 2016
ISBN: B01N5A1IXP | Paperback: $17.98 | eBook: $6.99

“AMERIKASTAN – Conquest From Within” screams of political incorrectness pointing to the peril of Islamic religious ideology via jihad to convert and conquer America, and the world. This book eliminates all controversy and wipes the thin-line between Islamic fundamentalism and moderate Islam, as both feed on the same religious nourishment form the Quran, bowing to the Hadith, while wailing to the rise of Sharia — the Islamic law. The author reveals the nefarious decrees of secreted manifestos as commanded by major jihad organizations which inexorably spell out the mission, objectives and methods being carried out today, “from within,” laying the groundwork for ultimate conquest of the west.

“Marshall Frank cuts through the myths, misconceptions, and deliberate obfuscations surrounding Islam and it history, bringing the reader face to face with the true doctrine of the Islamic ideology of conquest and its plans to convert the world to Islam. Prepare to be shocked.” – Lee Boyland, author of numerous books on radical Islam

“A work that requires reading and understanding for the future of our country.” – Francis J. Clifford

The Way Things Oughta Be: The Untold Crimes Against American People

Everly Books Publishing Group
December 2015 | ASIN: B019HOJ9MO
Paperback: $18.95 | eBook: $16.99

What’s the politically incorrect solution to global terrorism? What’s wrong with the education system? Is there really a God? Why isn’t the U.S. Attorney General an elected position like it is in most states? Are all politicians corrupt? What’s right and wrong about the death penalty? Why shouldn’t elected politicians who lie under oath be arrested? Why are criminals allowed to run for office? Can we make airline security safer? What’s the real solution to ISIS? How can we improve the justice system, i.e. judges, prisons, juries, laws, police, racism, the war drugs? What’s the downside to gay marriage we hadn’t thought about?

In The Way Things Oughta Be, author Marshall Frank addresses numerous hot-button issues in today’s America with brief essays and lists of follow up bullets offering pie-in-the-sky but logical solutions to long-range problems. Thirty-five chapters, compiled in six major sections, address a myriad problems criminal justice and the political world, plus conflicts we experience with religion, families, love, sex and marriage, parenting and moral decay.

Frank baffles critics who want to label him a conservative or liberal, or perhaps, a “moderate” because he is all over the spectrum of pigeon holes. He prefers to identify the issue before attaching a label. He tackles many more concerns about corporations, global warming, entertainment, gays, professional sports, and the challenges of old age. Do people care about the under-represented minorities in America who have little or no voice in society? He raises questions and answers on how can we identify and solve these problems by offering readers an opportunity to think outside the proverbial box, that is, if we really want to.

The Upside To Murder

” Marshall Frank has proved himself a master at suspense with a novel that weaves a twisted crime story around our most basic human instincts, emotions, and needs. Thumbs up.”

—Bahia Abrams, author, The Other Half Of My Soul

“Marshall Frank knows murder for its complexity and surprises. Only a veteran homicide detective can communicate this fast paced tale to the reader.”

           — Dr. Roger E. Mittleman, Chief Medical Examiner, Florida District 19

“Frank has penned a gripping story filled with real people dealing with real dilemmas of life: separation, pain, loss and grief. The reactions of his characters to these dilemmas drive a story that unfolds quickly with many a twist and turn. This book is hard to put down.”

           — John J. Spiegel, Miami Attorney, Former Homicide Detective

a thriller that could only be written by a man with an intimate knowledge of detective work; who also happens to be a master of the English language. Demonstrating the author’s attention to detail, each carefully crafted scene—and for that matter, every phrase, paragraph, and page—adds to our understanding of the unfolding drama; as we become more invested in the characters, and increasingly curious regarding the outcome of the story, with each succeeding sentence.
