Pit: A Leo Van Cleef Novel has just been released by author Michael P. Naughton. The book is a police procedural in the style of Michael Connelly's books, however, it also has a sense of humor. Michael added some heart to the story by involving personal elements. There are also clever references to Hollywood peppered into the book in a unique way by the author. According to Michael P. Naughton, "Pit" is a nod to the '70s detective shows, and "I wanted to develop a character like Columbo that is 'pitted' against Hollywood hotshots and affluent suspects, which is why I wanted the name confusion and association with Lee Van Cleef, the actor. The story is both suspenseful and entertaining, and Detective Van Cleef is a dog lover... so this time it's personal." You can purchase the new book here: michaelpnaughton.bio.to/PitBook
