I AM HOMICIDE to Premiere in June on Investigation Discovery
by Tyler Peterson - May 19, 2016
When the streets talk, he listens. Where a crime scene has already been picked over, he can see things everyone else missed. Meet homicide detective Garry McFadden, the focus of Investigation Discovery's all-new original series I AM HOMICIDE. After nearly three decades with the Charlotte Police Department, Det. McFadden has solved more than 700 homicide cases, resulting in a 90-percent success rate with the investigations he pursues. But his work doesn't stop at protecting and serving the community of Charlotte. Chances are that when a call comes in, he knows the victim, the family, or even the perpetrator, because he has made it his mission to be one with the people of Charlotte, operating his investigations out of a local diner instead of the police precinct so he can truly get to know residents across the city and gain their confidence. Det. McFadden uses his street smarts to work the neighborhood networks and gather critical information for leads, at times risking his life by trusting the streets he calls home. I AM HOMICIDE world premieres Tuesday, June 14 at 10/9c only on Investigation Discovery.

by Christina Mancuso - Mar 14, 2016
Kellan Publishing will be releasing Billy and Joseph Pepitone's latest novel, the crime drama 'Gravedigger: Prodigal Son' on March 27th, 2016. 'Gravedigger: Prodigal Son' is a chilling tale surrounding the peaceful beach town of Starfall, New Jersey which has been woken from its winter slumber by the discovery of several mutilated bodies crudely buried in public, shallow graves. The only link appears to be Steve Borden, a brilliant criminal defense attorney. Jim Orkin, the local police chief and national hero, leads the manhunt to bring the elusive murderer dubbed 'The Gravedigger' to justice. A dangerous organized crime boss, however, wants the Gravedigger dead.
'Gravedigger isn't just a crime drama or a slasher tale. It's a look at our justice system through several distorted and perverse points of view and asks the question, just how far will a society go to protect itself?' -Billy Pepitone.
A 'Gravedigger: Prodigal Son' online pre-launch party will take place on March 21st, 2016 from 9 am till 9 pm. Prizes include signed copies and free ebooks. Visit the Facebook event page at https://www.facebook.com/Billy-Pepitone-131307837203741/?ref=hl
