Casa Al Mare by Paul John Hausleben
Crime and fantasy mixed Murder, mobsters, mayhem, mystery and romance abound in a historic, glorious and grand hotel and resort in a city on the shoreline of New Jersey. The dashing and courageous, ex- U.S. Marine Corps sniper, Jimmy Reeves, teams up with a wily detective and the quiet stranger, in a heart-racing showdown between good and evil. Just to add to the excitement, Jimmy manages to fall in love along the way. When a wily homicide detective investigates a mob-style murder and realizes that his police department is full of corruption and littered with crooked police officers receiving illegal payoffs from the local mob, he appeals for help to an old family friend, the hard-boiled and no nonsense, crime fighting, State of New Jersey Attorney General, Charles Chuck McCracken.

He recruits his loyal and faithful bodyguard, and professional assassin and assistant, James Jimmy Reeves, and he sends Jimmy in to assist and protect the detective and to dig in where others fear to tread. Jimmy finds that hidden behind the grand exterior of the exclusive, world-class hotel and resort, known as Casa Al Mare, is an interior full of evil, danger and deception. What Jimmy Reeves does not count on is falling in love along the way, and that behind the scenes; two gorgeous women compete for the heart of the dashing and courageous Jimmy Reeves. Will Jimmy and the good detective solve the murder and end the grip of evil that has stretched across and enveloped the old city? Or will the mobsters kill Jimmy and the detective and continue their reign of terror? Which of the two gorgeous women will Jimmy give his heart to forever? Will the mysterious, dark and Quiet Stranger in the Black Hat arrive just in time to save the day?

It is very difficult to classify the work of Paul John Hausleben. One critic's words might be the best description so far, when he wrote, Mr. Hausleben is a myriad of storytelling adventures. When Mr. Hausleben writes humor, he is today's Jean Shepherd. When he dabbles in emotions, drama, sports, fantasy or the other genres that he ventures into, then he is impossible to classify. His now, seemingly endless cast of characters has become almost 'Dickens-like.' He is indeed; a master storyteller and that might be the best description of all. If you are lucky enough to meet Paul John Hausleben in person and have a chance to sit and speak with him, then we can guarantee that it will be a magical experience. If your luck is exceptional and you are able to lure him into a story or two, then it will be forever memorable. As many people, have said, you will not meet a better storyteller. Paul himself will tell you that he is not an author, he will insist in saying that he is just a storyteller. His mission is to continue to write and tell stories to warm your heart, make you laugh, and sometimes make you cry - just a little. Most of all, he deals in memories, and helping you to also remember the good times of your own life, and the special people who touched you along the way. Paul was born and raised in Paterson, and then nearby Haledon, New Jersey, and began writing at an early age. He revisited a writing career later in his life, and he now is the author of a number of novels, compilations, short stories and other works. Most of his work, touches upon nostalgic remembrances of simpler times, and tells the stories of heartfelt, humorous, and special human relationships. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator. He now resides in Somewhere, U.S.A., but his heart always remains along Belmont Avenue in good old Paterson, and Haledon, New Jersey.
