According to the description of his novel, Deadly Crossing, “Harbor Meadow, Long Island was a quiet New England style village...until the killings started. Deranged after a mishap aboard the Soundview: a monstrous 320 foot vessel which plies the waters between Long Island and Connecticut. a stalker begins an odyssey of murder. His weapon: a sharpened hook-device.”
John Westermann was a police officer for the Freeport Police Department (New York). Since leaving the job, he has written five novels. Once of his novels, Exit Wounds, was produced into a movie of the same name starring Steven Seagal. According to the Charlotte Austin Review, “Exit Wounds is a gritty police drama about men on the edge, and about the edge itself. One of the things I really liked about this work was that Orin’s assignment is not cut and dry. The reader has to guess right along with George and the rest of the cast exactly who Officer Orin Boyd is, and what he is up to.”
