Lost in the Eternal City: The Disappearance of Mirella Gregori

Lost in the Eternal City: The Disappearance of Mirella Gregori
In the heart of Rome, a seemingly ordinary May afternoon in 1983 turned into a decades-long nightmare. Fifteen-year-old Mirella Gregori, vibrant and full of life, stepped out of her home after receiving a mysterious phone call. Promising to return in ten minutes, she vanished without a trace. Just forty days later, another disappearance shocked the world—that of Emanuela Orlandi, a Vatican citizen.
What connects these two chilling cases? Was Mirella’s disappearance the result of a shadowy plot involving international terrorists, as some claim? Could both girls have been victims of a serial killer who preyed on Rome’s young women? Or does the truth lie even deeper, hidden behind the Vatican’s impenetrable walls?
With suspects that include a high-ranking Vatican official and theories ranging from political conspiracies to a sinister predator stalking the Eternal City, the search for answers has spanned decades. Despite false leads, chilling phone calls, and a web of speculation, the fates of Mirella Gregori and Emanuela Orlandi remain among the most haunting mysteries of our time.
Now, forty years later, the Italian Senate has reignited the investigation, offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness. But will this renewed effort uncover the truth, or will the secrets of the past remain buried forever?
In Lost in the Eternal City: The Disappearance of Mirella Gregori, journey into the labyrinth of unanswered questions, false trails, and chilling possibilities surrounding one of Italy’s most baffling cold cases. The truth is waiting—if you dare to uncover it.

The Mystery of the Maple Leaf Matchbook

The Mystery of the Maple Leaf Matchbook
A Mick & Mack Mystery
Toronto, 1952. A city of snow-dusted streets, neon lights, and secrets that lurk in the shadows.
When a body is found behind Honest Ed’s, it seems like an open-and-shut case. But for Detective Mick McCathie and his wisecracking partner, Mack MacNeely, the devil is in the details—and this crime scene is downright bizarre. A murder weapon abandoned in the snow. A matchbook from the seedy Maple Leaf Hotel. A receipt for five pounds of bananas. The clues don’t add up, but they lead to a trail that winds through smoky jazz clubs, gritty racetracks, and the shadowy underbelly of Toronto’s gambling world.
As Mick and Mack dig deeper, they uncover a web of debts, danger, and deception—and the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. From the sultry chanteuse with secrets to the slippery card sharks and muscle-bound enforcers, everyone has something to hide. And when the detectives close in on a ruthless mastermind, they find themselves in a race against time to solve the mystery before it claims another life.
Packed with crackling dialogue, atmospheric twists, and the indomitable charm of Mick and Mack, The Mystery of the Maple Leaf Matchbook is a classic tale of noir intrigue with a uniquely Canadian flair.
The case is cold, but the action is red hot. Will Mick and Mack crack the case—or will they end up as just another headline in Toronto’s crime pages?

Shadows Over Toronto – Part 2: A Mick & Mack Mystery

Shadows Over Toronto – Part 2: A Mick & Mack Mystery
Previously on Shadows Over Toronto:
In the heart of 1946 Toronto, a desperate Soviet defector staggered into Mick and Mack’s precinct with a briefcase full of secrets—blueprints, names, and maps exposing a spy network operating in the city. Before he could tell all, he vanished, leaving the detectives with more questions than answers.
From the glittering ballroom of the King Edward Hotel to the shadowy backstreets, Mick and Mack unraveled a web of deceit. With allies like the mysterious Eve Whitmore, resourceful singer Lily Morgan, and legendary spymaster William Stephenson—“A Man Called Intrepid”—the detectives faced off against Soviet agents determined to silence them. Cornered in a tense kitchen standoff, Mick and Mack were moments from disaster before frying pans and quick thinking turned the tables.
Now, in Part 2:
The defector’s knowledge paints a chilling picture: a powerful Soviet network infiltrating Toronto’s institutions and government, with shocking ties to a prominent politician and whispers of a mole within the RCMP. As Mick and Mack piece together the puzzle, they find themselves outmaneuvered at every turn, the shadows of betrayal stretching closer.
With the stakes higher than ever, a dramatic arrest at Parliament shakes Canada’s political landscape. But the network’s plans are far from over. As Soviet agents prepare to flee with blueprints for groundbreaking technology, the detectives must intercept them at the Toronto Harbour in a final, high-stakes showdown.
Amid the fog and the chaos, trust becomes a rare commodity, and allies are forced to make impossible choices. Will Mick and Mack stop the spies before the blueprints leave the country? Or will a faceless enemy lurking in the RCMP ensure their mission ends in failure?
One thing is certain: the Cold War has begun, and the shadows over Toronto have only just started to fall.
A Mick & Mack Mystery – Part espionage, part noir, and all heart-pounding intrigue. Inspired by real events, this thrilling tale blends humor, suspense, and the rich atmosphere of 1940s Toronto. Step into the golden age of detective fiction and uncover a story you won’t soon forget.

A Small Town, A Brutal Crime, and a Killer Who Might Not Have Stopped
February 18th, 1966. Georgia Jackson, a kind-hearted 20-year-old, vanishes on her way home from work in the quiet town of Aylmer, Ontario. Less than a month later, her body is discovered in a remote woodlot, sexually assaulted, mutilated, and discarded like an afterthought. The horror of her murder sends shockwaves through the community, leaving a trail of fear and unanswered questions.
Years later, David Bodemer, a man Georgia knew and trusted, confesses to her murder under the weight of religious guilt.

But the questions don’t end there. What drove Bodemer to kill? Why did the justice system fail to ask crucial questions about his other potential crimes? And where is he now?
