Sins of the Family: A Callie McFee Mystery

by Hy Conrad

Overview

When Texas fixer Buddy McFee mishandles a case, his client, Trevor Birdsong, commits suicide. Buddy's daughter, Callie, was the last person Trevor contacted before his death and she feels guilty that she hadn't been there for him.

Callie, an investigative reporter, enters the world of hip, holistic healthcare, convinced that Trevor's death was murder and was somehow connected to a secret within his company. But her investigation unleashes another secret, one from deep in Buddy's past, that may just send him to prison - and get Callie killed.

About the Author

HY CONRAD has made a career out of murder, earning a Scribe Award for best novel and garnering three Edgar nominations from the Mystery Writers of America. Along the way, he developed a horde of popular games and interactive films, hundreds of short stories and a dozen books of solvable mysteries, published in over a dozen languages. Hy is best known for his eight seasons as writer/co-executive producer for the ground-breaking series, Monk. Other shows include White Collar and The Good Cop.

In the world of theatre, his produced works consist of Home Exchange (a mystery), Ta-Dah! (a musical), and Quarantine for Two (a socially distanced dark comedy about the pandemic).

As a novelist, Hy authored the final four books in the Monk series, the Amy Travel Mysteries and The Fixer’s Daughter, a Barnes &Noble bestseller and the first of the Callie McFee Mysteries.

When he looks up from his keyboard, Hy sees either the hills of Vermont or the palm trees of Key West, depending on the time of year. He also sees Jeff Johnson, his partner of 42 years, now his husband, plus Nelson and Stella, the latest in a dynasty of mini schnauzers.

Editorial Reviews

"Conrad proves adept at the tools of the mystery author's trade, like misdirection, planting clues that pay off later, and crafting a plot where every detail matters and feels logical and believable but will still keep readers guessing how they will finally fit together. His heroine is compelling and imperfect, and her relationship with her father—he practices cover ups, she exposes them—is fertile ground for future stories."
