EVEN GENERATIONS LATER, YOU CAN’T ESCAPE THE
EVIL THAT MEN DO
Stripped of his private investigator’s license and slumming it as a
night security guard at a Jersey storage facility, Jackson Donne thinks
he’s finally hit rock bottom. Then the bottom really falls out: The
sister he hasn’t seen in years shows up, needing help.
Turns out Donne’s Alzheimer’s-stricken mother has begun hinting at
long-buried family secrets from her hospital bed, suggesting a
sinister–even murderous–past. Meanwhile, Donne’s relatives are
suddenly being greeted by blackmail, car bombs, and bullets to the back
of the skull.
All Donne wants is to disappear–preferably into a nice frosty pint
glass–but he soon realizes that his only chance at saving his family,
and himself, is by solving a mystery more than sixty years old. Now he
needs to figure out how a hit man, crooked cops, corrupt politics, a
kidnapping, and the city of Bayonne all fit together. He’ll discover
that old family secrets still have the power to kill in this razor-sharp
PI story that makes classic noir new again.
