Tango Down 
By Chris Knopf ’73
Permanent Press

The eighth book in the Sam Acquillo Mystery Series disrupts the illusion that the Hamptons are safely immune from the struggles that enflame much of the world. A routine visit to one of Acquillo’s job sites becomes anything but. The home’s owner, Victor Bollings, is lying in a pool of blood. One of Sam’s closest friends in the cabinetry trade is quickly behind bars as the obvious suspect. For the cops, this is all standard operating procedure.

Books in this critically acclaimed series by Chris Knopf ’73 have been lauded by The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews and more.
