Young girls are coming through a small Upstate New York village, but, they aren't all coming out--alive!
Following a close brush with death as an NYPD homicide detective, Matt Davis takes early retirement, and accepts what appears to be a cushy position as Chief of Police of a three-man department in a small, rural Upstate New York village. While out fishing on his favorite stream on the opening day of trout season, Matt stumbles across the murdered remains of a body, barely recognizable as a human being, killed approximately six months earlier. With no real physical evidence-no clothing, no identification, and no clues-it's up to Matt to not only identify the murderer, but to find the identity of the victim.
But, in the end, it's the revelation of the unlikely killer's identity that will shock this tight-knit community to its very core, and leave the reader begging for more. Opening Day is the second in the Matt Davis Mystery Series, and picks up where As the Twig is Bent left off.

David Justin is an Italian-Catholic, height-challenged youth, who is desperate to escape the bonds of sexual repression and adolescent innocence that hold him captive in the Age of Aquarius.

Their efforts are heroic yet laughable at the same time.
But, this is the “The Sixties,” the era of “sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll," and David will not be deterred—or will he? Find out what happens, as you follow his hilarious misadventures in Escaping Innocence (A Story Of Awakening) by Joe Perrone Jr. Available in regular and large print paperback and Kindle editions.

Someone is killing women in the Chelsea district of Manhattan - but, who? The only clues: a signature heart carved into each victim's breast (inside, the initials "J.C." and those of the deceased); copies of the New Testament (with underlined passages referring to infidelity); and fingerprints of a juvenile arrested in the 1960s. On the case is Matt Davis, a plodding but effective NYPD homicide detective who is addicted to fly fishing - and chocolate. Helping him is his one-quarter Mohawk Indian partner, Chris Freitag, to whom he owes a long-standing debt of gratitude. Complicating things is Rita Valdez, a female cop looking for "true love," and not too particular about where she finds it.
