Recommendation -

 If you're familiar with author Jeffrey Siger, it's probably because you read his Andreas Kaldis series set in Greece.  And if you haven't discovered this series yet, you should!  After all, The Greek government named Jeff as the only American author writing novels serving as a Guide to Greece.  

Aside from that - it's a terrific series that gets better with each book.

BUT.

Now we have a new Jeff Siger book.  The first in a new series.

I received it yesterday and read it in one sitting, and already tapping my foot impatiently waiting for the next one.  

Description from Jeff's webpage -

A Study in Secrets

Book 1 of the Redacted Man Mysteries

Now available in the UK and US

A retired gentleman with a complicated past. A missing priceless treasure. A young woman in trouble. The first in the brand-new Redacted Man mystery series set in NYC featuring Michael A, a Sherlock Holmes-worthy sleuth with a George Smiley secret-agent past.

Michael is a true gentleman who since retiring from the intelligence services lives a quiet, comfortable life. Practically a recluse and partially handicapped, he spends his days imagining the lives of the anonymous people he watches in the park beneath the windows of his elegant New York City townhouse–number 221–his every need tended to by his housekeeper, Mrs. Baker. He takes great care never to get involved in the lives of those he observes…until one day everything changes.

Each morning for weeks he watches a girl sit in the park at dawn. Always alone. Always watchful. And when the sun rises, she vanishes, as if she were never there. One day her routine changes–and Michael realizes she faces terrible danger. For reasons unclear even to himself he makes an uncharacteristic decision to abandon his solitude and help her.

Soon, Michael finds himself confronting the New York City underworld in an unexpected search for a priceless missing treasure. He’ll have to rely upon all the tricks of his former trade and resurrect long neglected relationships if he’s to keep not just himself, but his new friend, alive.

Now, in the spirit of transparency, I may have met the guy a time or two.

Let me just say - he's a doll.  Married to one of the most sainted of women.

And he can make you laugh till you think you might die.
