It's early 1980's in blue-collar Boston. Billy Carson held his brother in his arms and watched him take his last breath. The cops and everyone else see it as a clear case, young guy, partying too hard, took to much and his body reacted, shut down. Billy knows there's more, but to dig deeper means crossing some dangerous paths and putting himself and his family at risk. If the choice is his, he'd walk away for his family's sake. He soon finds out, some choices get made for you.
The first entrant in the series of crime fiction dramas (The Carson Series) set to a background of Boston's gritty neighborhood streets, A Ghost is Born is a prequel to the novel Tomorrow's Sun (Feb 2013). It sets the scene for this and the follow on novels where all roads lead back to its protagonist, Billy Carson, a man destined for the shadows, the periphery . . . a ghost.
