Welcome to JAMESPONTI.COM

Hi! My name's James and I'm the author of four book series, including City Spies and The Sherlock Society. I like to write books that mash together twisty mysteries, globe-trotting adventures, and laugh-out-loud comedy. As a kid, my favorite fictional characters were Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Encyclopedia Brown. As an adult, I try to put a little bit of each of them into everything I write. Thanks for stopping by. ​

 

Happy Reading!

James

Coming September 2nd

Heist.png

When a category three hurricane hits Miami Beach, it uncovers a body buried at the renowned Moroccan Hotel. The body is identified as the man who served as the hotel’s bell captain sixty years ago…and the presumed culprit of the million-dollar jewel heist that took place just before his disappearance.

Since the bell captain clearly didn’t take off with the goods as had been long believed, the Sherlock Society sets their sights on uncovering the real culprit of the theft. But when the thief may also be implicated in the bell captain’s murder, even sixty years later, there are people who want the truth to stay buried.
