KB Pellegrino-Beryl Kent Mixed Motives with award

JUST RELEASED!

A PSYCHOPATH’S PAUSE

A Captain Beauregard Mystery Novel

By Four Time Award Winning Author
K.B. Pellegrino

“All aspects of the human condition are present in K.B. Pellegrino’s new mystery novel A Predatory Cabal: Worm in the Apple as the detectives have to deal with political pressures, family matters, etc. while at the same time attempting to discover the truth behind the wave of deaths rippling through their hometowns.”

“Beryl Kent and the Bleeding Man is a well-plotted crime fiction novel with characters to love and despise. With a little local Western Massachusetts spice, K. B. Pellegrino directs the reader with both essential and thought-provoking clues exposed in the thoughts of Captain Beauregard, a logical and precise professional and Beryl Kent, a strong, defiant, independent woman who can’t be pushed around. Beryl takes ownership of her casual aid to a bleeding man in some very colorful and unapologetic ways.”

“K.B. Pellegrino has really done it this time! She has taken us on a trip to the Dark Side while riding the investigating prowess of the Blue Wave. If it’s a sociopathic thriller you like, join Captain Rudy and MCU detectives as they walk the long, laborious dark side while solving countless murders and you guessed it…SEX. In the final chapter not only are the West Side police spent but me as a reader as well. Great thriller.”

Kathleen B. Pellegrino - Author & Storyteller

Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts.

West-Side, MA is not too far...

“My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age when I would raid my father’s suitcase after his return from each of his frequent business trips. There lay one, two and sometimes three paperbacks. O’ the temptation to steal them before my older sister got them. And I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then.

Even at that early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!”

From There to Here...

Add to that my service as a Springfield Police Commissioner and a ward political party leader, 20 years in an earned professorship at Westfield State University and service as Chairperson of the Department of Economics and Management, my education at Boston University as an engineer and later an MBA from Western New England College, my licenses as a Certified Public Accountant, a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor and Massachusetts Justice of the Peace, my experience in rehabbing historic residential and commercial buildings, my solo practice in taxation, my leadership as Executive Director of the Springfield Parking Authority, and most importantly my love of being a Springfield storyteller;

I write now from those experiences. I have always written but alas only to the narrow constraints of business and law; certainly often much more long winded and with far less interesting turns of events. Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways –of life – of philosophy – about crime –about the sociopath/psychopath.”
