Howard Gimple’s Mystromedies

Tennis superstar Jake Marks has a side gig. He’s an assassin for a secret black ops quasi-governmental agency. When his targets turn from bad guys to good guys, Jake wants out, and his former employers want him dead, which makes winning the U.S. Open a little tougher.

Hannah Johansson loved her father. Then she killed him…or so she thought. When she discovers that she didn’t accidentally cause her father’s death, but that he was murdered, nothing will stop her from finding his killer, not even after she is shot at, thrown in jail and beat up by a 300-pound lesbian biker.


Ad man Stew Gribnitz has a big mouth and a short fuse, which cost him his last job and his first marriage. But just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, they did. Much worse. Now the FBI, the NYPD, the mob, three Long Island police departments, and a homicidal hit woman are all out to Get Gribnitz.

To save her department and clear her name, Jordan must find Shakespeare’s table, reveal the real murderer, and discover who really wrote the works of William Shakespeare. All while navigating the back-biting, petty jealousies, and academic treachery that characterizes university life.
