ⓘ About Kevin R. Doyle

“Squatter’s Rights”, the first of the Sam Quinton series, was nominated for the Shamus Award as Best First PI Novel in 2021. This novel chronicles many years of the life of a newspaper reporter, named Frank Peters, who rises to prominence through the series of associations with a major recording star, Rob Jeffers, who Peters first interviewed back when Jeffers was still just playing the college circuit. When Jeffers died midway through his stratospheric career, Peters own career hits a downward spiral which ends with him working for this tabloid paper where he chases years or alleged sightings of Jeffers, who is still alive.
