Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure released by Robert Thornhill

Leave a comment

Award-winning mystery author, Robert Thornhill, announces the release of Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, volume #23 in his Lady Justice series.

Independence, MO, June 11, 2016 – Independence, Missouri author, Robert Thornhill, has just released Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, volume #23 in his award-winning Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

Robert began writing at the age of 66 after a 36 year career in real estate. In six years, he has published 23 novels in the Lady Justice series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

Nine of the Lady Justice novels received the Pinnacle Achievement Award from the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs for best new mystery novel, fourteen have received 5 Star Reviews from Reader’s Favorite, and nine have been ranked #1 on Amazon in the past twelve months.

Having never learned to type, all Robert’s novels have been written with one finger and a thumb!

In Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, Robert asks the questions; Is there really a spirit world? And if there is, can those disembodied souls communicate with the living?

Can departed love ones speak to family from beyond the grave?

These are questions Walt must ponder when a bizarre series of paranormal events lead his friend, Mary, to a treasure hidden away for seventy years, and a family she never knew existed.

Walt’s ultimate answer lies in the words of the Professor, “There are still many things beyond the comprehension of mortal man.”

A light-hearted look at things that go ‘bump’ in the night.

C.F. Jones of Independence writes, “Cozy means something that’s comfortable, warm and familiar. A cozy mystery is one where the reader likes the characters, feels justice is served at the end, and has enough twists and turns to the plot that their mind is actively engaged in helping solve the crime.

In my opinion, this is one of Robert Thornhill’s best novels in his Walt Williams Mystery/Comedy series. Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure is the 23rd book in this series and is full of mysteries: hidden gold; spooky specters; providential coincidences; and a cast of characters that interweave around and about each other.

The pace of the story is quick and quirky. There are several funny scenes that may cause the reader to laugh out loud and the paranormal episodes will give even the non-believer pause. The characters are well defined and realistic.

A definite thumbs-up and five stars, this is one of the coziest mystery cozies he’s written!” For more about the series, go to http://booksbybob.com

Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, releases Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial

Leave a comment

Author Robert Thornhill releases Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial, volume #2 in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

Independence, MO, March 08, 2016 – In Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial, author, Robert Thornhill, continues to ask the question, “Are we being poisoned?”

Investigative reporter, Jack Carson, has been murdered, but by whom?

Police arrest mob boss Carmine Marchetti, but Walt is convinced that it was the work of government assassins, sent to silence the reporter before he could expose a clandestine program that for decades had been spraying deadly chemicals into the atmosphere for weather control and defense.

Will justice prevail or will the government’s dirty little secret remain hidden?

Lee Ashford of Reader’s Favorite writes, “Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial by Robert Thornhill is another brilliantly-conceived mystery/comedy novel from the biographer of Walt Williams and creator of the Lady Justice series of contemplative tales. As fresh and timely as all the stories in this series, Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial tackles a troubling theory gaining traction just below the surface of public consciousness.

“Whether truth or fiction, the subject matter of this story – and its immediate predecessor, Lady Justice and the Conspiracy – will have readers surreptitiously peering beyond their curtains at the sky above.

“Once again we find the intrepid Walt Williams, senior citizen extraordinaire, right in the thick of a dangerous situation. As the body count rises, Walt understandably fears for his safety and the safety of his loved ones. This time he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

“Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered whether the government is perhaps not always forthcoming with “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” in its response to requests for information.

“Has our government conspired to foist a deadly top-secret program on our planet, or is this just an imaginative and witty tale? It will give you an adrenaline rush, regardless of what you ultimately believe. It will also give you something to think about.

“Robert Thornhill has a noteworthy talent for crafting compelling tales ripped from the headlines of our daily newspapers. Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial will grip you from beginning to end and may well color your dreams at night.

“Five stars and two thumbs up for Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial.”

Robert began writing at the ripe old age of 66 and in six years has penned twenty-two novels in the Lady Justice series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

During the past year, nine volumes in the Lady Justice series reached the #1 rank in the book’s category on Amazon.

Lady Justice on the Dark Side Released by Mystery author, Robert Thornhill

Leave a comment

Award-winning author Robert Thornhill announces the release of the nineteenth installment in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, Lady Justice on the Dark Side.

Independence, MO, February 21, 2015 – The first eighteen novels in the series, Lady Justice Takes A C.R.A.P. City Retiree Action Patrol, Lady Justice and the Lost Tapes, Lady Justice Gets Lei’d, Lady Justice and the Avenging Angels, Lady Justice and the Sting, Lady Justice And Dr. Death, Lady Justice and the Vigilante, Lady Justice and the Watchers, Lady Justice and the Candidate, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders, Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders, Lady Justice and the Class Reunion, Lady Justice and the Assassin, Lady Justice and the Lottery, Lady Justice and the Vet, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders, Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse and Lady Justice in the Eye of the Storm are currently available through bookstores, online and on the author’s website.

After five years on the police force, a bullet in the kiester from a vengeful gangbanger convinces Walt that it’s time to turn in his badge.

Walt realizes once again that retirement just isn’t his cup of tea, and with a little urging from his brother-in-law, decides to become a private investigator.

For five years he had served the Lady Justice wearing a white robe and a blindfold and followed the rules, but he soon discovered that the P.I. business was leading him across the line into the dark side and a completely different set of rules.

When Walt comes face to face with the Lady Justice on the dark side, dressed in a tight skirt, fishnet stockings and high heels, he is faced with decisions that will change the course of his life.

Christina Jones of Independence, MO. writes, “Walt Williams, a senior member of the City Retiree Action Patrol retires from serving Lady Justice after a life-threatening ambush. Is author Robert Thornhill retiring one of our favorite comedy/mystery heroes? Maybe only for about the 3 minutes it takes you to get engrossed in the new direction Williams gets pulled into — after all, there are more angles to serving the Lady than just being a cop! A great afternoon read with all the familiar characters and plenty of action to keep the story moving right along. Thornhill has added some new twists and turns, but in the end, Walt is still protecting Truth, Justice and the American Way!

Six volumes in the series, Lady Justice and the Vet, Lady Justice and the Assassin, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders, Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse, Lady Justice and the Candidate and Lady Justice in the Eye of the Storm have all reached the #1 rank on Amazon during the past year.

More Honors for the Lady Justice Mystery/Comedy Series

Leave a comment

More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series

Independence, MO, September 09, 2014 – More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders has earned the Pinnacle Achievement Award for Best New Mystery – Summer 2014.

In addition, Volume #17, Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse, was just awarded a Five Star Review from Reader’s Favorite.

Lee Ashford of Reader’s Favorite writes, “Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse by Robert Thornhill offers another excellent entry to the Lady Justice series of comedic mysteries. Walt, Ox and the whole gang are back to help resolve a growing number of unusual murders, with an apparent connection to a theft from the travelling “King Tut” exhibit on loan from Egypt. When Walt and Ox are both arrested for one of the murders, things get really dicey. Whoever set up the dynamic duo seemed to cover every base, with all the evidence pointing directly to the pair. Their future was in the hands of a single defense attorney, but she was very good at her job; was she good enough? Historical facts are liberally sprinkled throughout this book, as is generally the case with Thornhill’s work. Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse includes a nice bonus: a link to relevant and fascinating information about the boy king. Don’t skip the link.

Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse is Robert Thornhill’s latest release, but it seems each successive story is better than the previous stories. I don’t know how he could get any better than he already is, but he must have found a way. This is a great story on several levels. The comedic factor is witty and befitting the various characters involved. The murder mystery is well established, well written, and very deeply cloaked in a well-designed mesh of convoluted clues. The police procedural aspect of the story is reasonable and quite believable. Finally, the historically accurate bits are fascinating and add punch to the story. Thornhill’s Lady Justice series was great to begin with, but each successive episode makes the series even better than before. You won’t want to miss Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse.”

Over 83,000 Kindle readers downloaded Organ Traders and Pharaoh’s Curse propelling both novels into the #1 rank in Amazon’s ‘Cozy Mystery’ and ‘Humor’ categories. amzn.to/1yHlnGE, amzn.to/1jmde5S

In an Amazon review, E. Whitaker writes: “A stolen artifact, a string of murders, and the claim of an ancient curse are all intricately woven into this new book by Robert Thornhill. Are all these events related or is it merely coincidence? This riveting and well-written mystery delves deep into the past while remaining grounded in the present.

“This tale of mayhem and murder explores the past and present and takes the baffled Kansas City Police down a road with many twists and turns. The clues are all there, but will they make sense? Can the mystery be solved in time?

“Robert Thornhill has once again created a plot that will keep the reader guessing right up to the very end. His focus on events, interesting characters, and depiction of real-life situations is what makes the book come alive. The main plot is accompanied by subplots that come together to tell a fascinating story. This work of fiction is well-researched, compelling, and an all-around great read. Navigate through the twists and turns with Walt as he uncovers what could be the most perplexing mystery yet.”

Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, releases Lady Justice and the Organ Traders, volume #16 in the Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

Independence, MO, March 13, 2014 – Award-winning author Robert Thornhill announces the release of the sixteenth installment in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders.

The first fifteen novels in the series, Lady Justice Takes A C.R.A.P. City Retiree Action Patrol, Lady Justice and the Lost Tapes, Lady Justice Gets Lei’d, Lady Justice and the Avenging Angels, Lady Justice and the Sting, Lady Justice And Dr. Death, Lady Justice and the Vigilante, Lady Justice and the Watchers, Lady Justice and the Candidate, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders, Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders, Lady Justice and the Class Reunion, Lady Justice and the Assassin, Lady Justice and the Lottery and Lady Justice and the Vet are currently available through bookstores, online and on the author’s website.

A badly burned body with a fresh incision and a missing kidney leads Walt into the clandestine world of an organ trader ring that has set up shop in Kansas City.

Walt is determined to bring to justice the bootleggers, who purchase body parts from the disadvantaged and sell them to people with means, until a relative from Maggie’s past turns up needing a kidney to survive.

Once again, Walt discovers that very little in his world is black and white.

Christina Jones of Independence, Mo. writes, “Thrills, laughter, suspense and a new philosophical topic to ponder satisfyingly come together in Lady Justice and the Organ Traders, the 16th volume in the Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice Mystery/Comedy Series.

Formerly a real estate agent, Walt is now a senior citizen who works with the Kansas City Police Department to fulfill his lifelong dream of helping Lady Justice rid the world of bad guys. Once again, Walt finds that the world is made of shades of gray rather than the black & white we wish it could be. Thornhill weaves an engaging storyline around the complex moral issues surrounding the growing black market trading of healthy organs (specifically kidney in this story). He asks us to consider if we would break the law to save the life of a loved one, and at what cost. Definitely worth a 5-star rating!”

Author Robert Thornhill has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading

Leave a comment

Robert Thornhill, author of the fifteen volume Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’, sponsored by The Authors Show, and was the overall winner in the ‘Fiction’ genre.

Independence, MO, December 14, 2013 – Mystery/comedy author, Robert Thornhill, has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. Thornhill was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process and was the overall winner in the ‘Fiction’ genre.

“It is an honor,” stated Mr. Thornhill, “to be included in this year’s ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. I want to thank the fans of the Lady Justice series for their support.”

Thornhill has been dubbed ‘The Master of Hysterical Fiction’. His Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, about a 65-year-old retiree that becomes a cop, has been compared to Janet Evanovich’s highly successful Stephanie Plum series.

Lady Justice and the Vet, the latest volume in the series, debuted as #1 in Amazon’s ‘Cozy Mystery’ and ‘Humor’ categories and #8 in Amazon’s ‘Top 100’.

Lee Ashford, writing for Reader’s Favorite, writes, “Mr. Thornhill has an uncanny talent for bringing our attention to a serious problem while also entertaining and amusing us. Robert Thornhill’s house will one day be a National Monument. Okay, maybe that’s a little over the top, but he is a very good storyteller, and a very good writer. I anticipate with great relish each new release in his Lady Justice series. His writing is superlative, and his ability to inform and amuse, almost in the same sentence, makes him a consummate storyteller.”

The Lady Justice series is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and on his website.

Profile:
Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, began writing at the age of sixty-six and in four short years has penned fifteen novels in the Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

Lady Justice and the Sting, Lady Justice and Dr. Death, Lady Justice and the Vigilante, Lady Justice and the Candidate, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders and Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders won the Pinnacle Award for the best new mystery novels of Fall 2011, Winter 2012, Summer 2012, Fall 2012, Spring of 2013 and Summer 2013 from the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs.

Many of Walt’s adventures in the Lady Justice series are anecdotal and based on Robert’s real life.

Although Robert holds a master’s in psychology, he has never taken a course in writing and has never learned to type. All 26 of his published books were typed with one finger and a thumb!

His wit and insight come from his varied occupations, including thirty-three years as a real estate broker. He lives with his wife, Peg, in Independence, Missouri.
