The Dantone Project

The Dantone Project is Jon's first self-published novel. With a nod to classic film noir and private detectives of the '40s and '50s, Jon added his own twist with elements of espionage, biological warfare, and science projects gone wrong and introduced the world to LGBTQ protagonist PI, James Warner. Jon anticipates James and Clint will return in another adventure sometime soon.

Below is the synopsis for The Dantone Project:

James Warner is on the verge of a breakdown. He's a 27-year old private investigator working at a mom and pop diner just to make ends meet. He's also gay, and with the exception of his out of town high school friend Shawn, he doesn't have a friend in the world. All that is about to change, however. A biological weapon project has fallen into the hands of the wrong people, and the project director, Damen Brussell, has gone missing. His brother, Clint, has hired James to find his brother, and the reason behind his disappearance. In one week's time, James will resuscitate his private eye skills, as well as face his inner demons about what, and who, he truly is. James will encounter true love, as well as pure evil, in this missing persons' investigation that will take him through Colorado, and into the canyons of Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. James and Clint will both learn so much more than just what exactly is so dangerous about The Dantone Project.
