Tolstoy wrote that all happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. But what Jack Tyrrell, former Green Beret and Deputy U.S. Marshal, discovers is that unhappy families can be dangerous in their own ways. Violence, greed, gambling, sex, and broken romances combine in a lethal mix as Tyrrell tries to save three different families from their own demons. And stop a serial killer.
The non-stop action flows through Manhattan north to the scenic Hudson Valley. All the while, Tyrrell contemplates his future as a "righter of wrongs," giving this latest Tyrrell thriller its spiritual dimension.
"Another worthy Tyrrell thriller. It's fascinating to watch Jack Tyrrell's character develop in the series as he grows into an increasingly 3-dimensional human being struggling to balance his "calling" — as a 21st Century tech-savvy, government-trained Lone Ranger righting wrongs — with his desire to live a normal life. Add a Dickensian twist and you have a uniquely Geoff Loftus read."
Theodore George, author of The Deadly Homecoming
