Level Best Books Acquires Frank Spinelli's Latest Psychological Thriller
"Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor" Marks Third Installment in Acclaimed Angelo Perrotta Mystery Series

 Frederick, MD – Level Best Books, the award-winning independent publisher specializing in crime fiction and mystery novels, has announced the acquisition of Frank Spinelli's highly anticipated psychological thriller, Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor, the third book in the critically acclaimed Angelo Perrotta Mystery series.

The latest installment promises to deliver the same gripping psychological depth and intricate plotting that have made Spinelli's previous works standouts in the mystery genre. Set against the backdrop of the affluent Hamptons community of Sag Harbor, the novel follows JB Pulaski as he navigates a web of secrets, betrayal, and murder among a tight-knit group of longtime friends.

"Frank Spinelli has consistently delivered compelling, character-driven mysteries that keep readers on the edge of their seats," said Shawn Reilly Simmons, Publisher at Level Best Books. "His ability to weave complex psychological elements into a traditional mystery format makes him a perfect fit for our catalog. We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Frank and bring Angelo Perrotta's latest case to readers."

Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor explores themes of loyalty, deception, and the dark secrets that can lurk beneath the surface of even the closest relationships. Behind the gated driveways and manicured lawns of the Hamptons lies a rarefied world where appearances are everything and loyalty is currency.

Precious Friends is a masterful dissection of privilege, marriage, and moral compromise in the Hamptons, written with razor-sharp wit and devastating precision.

"I'm excited to continue working with Level Best Books on the Angelo Perrotta series," said Frank Spinelli. "Sag Harbor provides the perfect setting for this particular story – a place where old money, new wealth, and hidden resentments create the ideal storm for murder."

Level Best Books has built a reputation for publishing high-quality crime fiction from both established and emerging authors. The publisher has received numerous awards and recognition for their commitment to the mystery genre.

Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor is scheduled for publication in June 2026. The book will be available in paperback and digital formats through major retailers and independent bookstores.
