Death Knell: A John Keegan Novel
Murder. Revenge. The lengths a father will go to save his family. And the effect of death on all of us. Death Knell ties these all together in a tightly woven tale sure to keep you guessing. The daughter of a famous scientist is found strangled in Central Park... A drug dealer is brutally murdered in his apartment... NYPD Detective John Keegan is drawn to the first case but instead is assigned to the second. Investigating drug dealers is not what he became a cop for. In a sense, he figures, whoever killed Konstantin 'K-Drugs' Volkyv did the city a favor. Over time, he will realize the two cases are connected. As more criminals end up dead, he'll also discover that a vigilante is running loose in New York, determined to end the lives of an underground crime syndicate. While he secretly applauds the killer's work, Keegan knows he must stop him. It will take more than he is willing to give to do so. Keegan works the case with his occasional partner, Rick Calhill, a man trying to rebound from personal tragedy and prove his worth to the department. More questions arise than answers, and Keegan must rely on those he is not sure he can trust. Two sudden deaths strike close to him, distracting him from the case and making him question his very place in life. Death Knell brings the concept of death to the forefront, as a homicide detective must learn to deal with death from the other side, while struggling to maintain his relationships, while attempting to develop a new one. All while a killer runs loose in New York City.
