Here's what some well-known authors say about it:
Advance Praise for Crimes of Design
Politics, murder, and the river. Green knows St. Louis, all right. Crimes of
Design is a tightly plotted and told urban mystery featuring plenty of
action and twists and turns. Who knew living in St. Louis was such an
adventure?
—John Lutz, Edgar- and Shamus-Award-winning Author of Serial.
Fueled with skullduggery of surprising source, Crimes of Design forms a taut,
classic whodunit.
—Johnny Goldstein, 2011 Faulkner/Wisdom Finalist for An Elegy for the Lost City
Peter Green’s Crimes of Design—a "flood-plain noir" mystery—weaves a
complex tale of murder, eco-terrorism, love, lust and betrayal. Set in St.

Midwestern Americana— wetlands law, floods, barge traffic, levees,
locks, pumping stations, agricultural commodities trading, corn futures,
and how they all interrelate.
—Rick Skwiot, author of Key West Story

— Colonel (Ret) Michael R. Morrow, , Former District Engineer, St. Louis District,
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Author of Kuwait Journal, a collection of his
original art work and journal entries from the first Gulf War.
To save his beleaguered city, his career, his family and his very life,
Patrick MacKenna must confront a ruthless saboteur and killer
When architect and city planner Patrick MacKenna discovers the dead body of
the city manager at his dream project site, within hours he’s a murder suspect. He
must help solve the crime to clear his name. His judgment is clouded by his
inexplicable guilt over the death of his wife in an accident during a Christmas Eve
ice storm, blinding him to the solution of Read more...
