Who is Andre Charles?
Andre Charles is the pseudonym for two retired professors, one from Harvard Business School (Dorothy Leonard) and the other from Tufts University (Walter Swap). They’ve co-authored three non-fiction books previously, including the award-winning management book on group creativity, When Sparks Fly.
Active hikers and pickleball players, the co-authors strenuously resist being referred to as “spry.” They live in Sun City Oro Valley, Arizona, with two cats of dubious ancestry.
First in the Molly & Mike Mystery Series
The Second Molly & Mike Mystery is available on Amazon.com in paperback or electronic form.
When retired judge Tom O’Day plunges off a cliff while on a hike, Mike Landry is accused of murder. Mike and fellow amateur sleuth Molly Levin must prove Mike’s innocence by solving numerous puzzles: What caused O’Day’s bizarre behavior before his fall? Was the burglary at the O’Days’ house the morning of the hike merely a coincidence? Who would benefit from O’Day’s demise besides his widow? As the police investigation stalls, Molly makes a dangerous gamble.

A Fatal Club: A Molly & Mike Mystery
​When a resident of the quiet Arizona retirement community of Sunrise Acres is bludgeoned to death on the golf course, amateur sleuths Molly Levin and Mike Landry step in to investigate, using their local knowledge to aid Detective Jose Villegas in solving the murder. Motives for the crime abound: the victim's immigrant activism triggered hate-filled emails and threats. His involvement with a startup’s revolutionary technology has attracted international intrigue. His handsome brother and likely heir is an obvious suspect, but Molly’s friendship with him antagonizes both Mike and the police. As Molly and Mike uncover secrets and pursue clues, their unorthodox methods may identify the murderer, but also put them in danger.
