White House Chef Ollie Para featured in a mystery written by Julie Hyzy

Last Thursday evening, authors Julie Hyzy and Michael Black signed and discussed their mystery novels.

Julie Hyzy wrote State of the Onion, a White House Chef mystery and Michael Black wrote a Chicago-based police mystery, Random Victim.

Julie Hyzy's State of the Onion is the first in the new White House chef mystery series. White House Chef Ollie Paras feeds the First Family and saves the world in her spare time. This exciting culinary mystery includes recipes for a complete Presidential menu! To research this book, Julie visited the White House, spoke with a former White House chef, and took cooking lessons. She just finished working on the manuscript for the second book in the White House chef series. Julie is the President of the Midwest Chapter of Mystery Writers of America.

Michael A. Black's Random Victim, is a stunning novel about a special task force that has been assigned to investigate the high-profile murder of a woman. Sergeant Frank Leal must find the killer while dealing with a dirty cop on the take. Michael is a sergeant on the Matteson Illinois police department and has been on the force for 30 years.
