Publisher's Synopsis
New York City is being terrorized by a serial killer preying on young professional ladies. The authorities are baffled by the murders. The first murder was thought to be a case of extreme sex gone bad, except when two more victims were added to the list. The politicos fearing a city-wide panic, have kept the murders under wrap, desperately trying to apprehend the maniacal killer before going public. NYPD's Midtown South Precinct, at their wits end, hire a private investigative team, Mancuso & O'Brian Investigations. Hailed as 'The Last Advocate of the Victims' by the local New York media because of his Sherlock Holmes style of deduction, Joey Mancuso is a former top NYPD's Midtown South Precinct homicide detective. His brother and co-partner, Father Dominic O'Brian, is the Associate Pastor at St. Helen's Church in Brooklyn. Charged with solving these horrific murders, the brothers work out of a makeshift squad room in the back of their Irish pub set in the heart of the Financial District of Manhattan-Captain O'Brian's Irish Pub and Cigar Bar. The killer, profiled as an "unprincipled psychopath and highly narcissistic," seems to be three steps ahead of everyone. Little does Mancuso know that this killer could turn these killings into a personal affront that can threaten him and those around him. Now in the third book of his Mancuso & O'Brian Crime Mystery series, award winning author Owen Parr tantalizes readers with clues and possibilities in this fast-paced, page-turning novel. Don't be fooled by what you see! Like Mancuso, you'll need to observe and search beyond the obvious. Join Joey and Father O'Brian as they feverishly work out of their Irish pub to solve this case that possibly threatens the ones they love.
