About this title

From the Author

A turning point in the Mark Manning series
"Body Language" is the third installment in the Mark Manning mystery series, and it represents a significant turning point. Most obviously, the series moves north from Chicago to the fictitious town of Dumont, Wisconsin. What's more, beginning with "Body Language," Manning acts as a first-person narrator, spinning the whole tale in his mind. (The previous two books in the series employ a somewhat unusual third-person present-tense narration.) I hope you'll agree that this new narrative style provides a more intimate portrayal of Manning, his backstory, and the various forces that make him tick. For more details on you'd care to drop me an e-mail, I'd be happy to hear from you.
