I am thrilled to announce the release of my novel, THE SCAM. In this mystery NYPD detective Vince Bianco gets more than he bargained for when he investigates the mysterious disappearance of a prominent Long Island bank vice president. He discovers that the bank officer had become part of an elaborate bank fraud perpetrated by one of his own clients. And when the client turns up dead, the victim of a mob style hit, the investigation takes a new twist. The trail leads to the bosses of two notorious New York crime families suspected of a rash of air cargo thefts at JFK International Airport.

About Me
- J.R. Malerba
- Midlothian, Virginia, United States
- I am the author of THE SCAM,a recently published mystery novel. I was born in Brooklyn,NY, graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, where I majored in Industrial Design, and attended New York City Community College, majoring in Commercial Art. I served my country in the United States Army Reserve. My professional career began as a commercial artist, animator, and freelance photographer. As an art director at an advertising agency in NY I worked on projects such as: the very first Hawiian Punch commercial and Henry Mancini's 'Days of wine and Roses' album cover. After marrying Linda, and having one son, Steven, we moved to Long Island; where we lived for twenty nine years. I eventually changed careers. While enjoying a new career in banking I relocated to Virginia, and then on to Florida. I retired from banking after 23 years, and turned to writing; using my banking experience to write my first novel. For several years Linda and I enjoyed homes in Charlotte, NC and Florida but we recently moved back to Richmond, Virginia to be closer to our family.
