TWO IN THE HEAD by C.K. Laurence and Jerry Lyons

UNITED STATES, August 29, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- There’s something alluring about reading a good mystery. Similar to scary movies, they allow readers to experience excitement and fearsome situations without facing any real danger. But what if those situations were real — or, at least, based on real events?

C.K. Laurence and Jerry Lyons’ debut collaboration, TWO IN THE HEAD, is a mystery full of action-packed suspense and drama. Based on the lived experiences of Lyons’ history as a detective and private investigator, this mystery adds an extra layer of authenticity to the genre.

After a long stint as an NYC homicide detective, Ricky Burns has finally retired to start his own practice as a private investigator. What better way to kick off his business than with a high-profile case involving the famed wide receiver for the Miami Demons, Ron Ramirez?

One night, an accident outside a local club leads to Ramirez being charged with a double homicide. Ramirez claims he’s innocent, but the Miami Beach Police are convinced otherwise. Ramirez’s troubled past makes his fight for justice even more difficult, so Ramirez’s defense lawyer contacts Burns to help with the case.

Follow the twists and turns as this crackerjack legal team prepares for a compelling trial, ultimately ending in a finale you won't see coming.

Burns’ story is inspired by the life of co-author Jerry Lyons, a Manhattan detective-turned-private-investigator. As a PI he had the chance to work with some of the country’s top attorneys on high-profile murder cases such as the Casey Anthony case in Florida, the Aaron Hernandez double murder case in Boston and a doctor charged with fourteen murders in Ohio.

“I thought it might be fun to write fictional versions about the more publicized cases and give inside information to the public that may not have come out in the news,” Lyons says. “The problem is that I can hardly spell, never mind write. I’d finished reading one of C.K.’s mysteries and I reached out to her to see if she might be interested in teaming up with me and she loved the idea.”

Author C.K. Laurence has been a student of crime activity for years and weaves an exciting story of mystery and intrigue, creating an unexpected ending to this suspenseful adventure. She is also a longtime rowdy Miami Dolphins football fan and uses her knowledge of football culture to develop side stories that ring true to anyone who knows professional sports. Her novel moves quickly between South Beach parties and the football field to grisly murder scenes.

TWO IN THE HEAD is available on Amazon and other popular retail outlets where books are sold.

Jerry Lyons started out as a uniformed police officer in Manhattan. From there he transferred to a City-Wide anti-crime unit, which was plain clothes — known as The Task Force. From The Task Force, the top officers were chosen as detectives in groups of ten or twelve. He was number one the year he was promoted to Third Grade Detective. Within five years he was promoted to First Grade Detective where he worked in the Major Case Unit. As a Major Case First Grade Detective, he investigated homicides, rapes and other serious crimes.

In 1994, after twenty years on the job he retired and became a private investigator — which he still is. As a private investigator, he has been lucky enough to work with some of the country’s top attorneys on high-profile murder cases. All his clients, except one, have been found not guilty and the cases keep coming.
