Suspense
Dermot Sparhawk, a former All American Boston College
football hero, is stacking cans in a parish food pantry in
Boston's Charlestown, when his godfather, Jeepster
Hennessey, shows up with a knife in his back and dies at
Dermot's feet. Once slated for a professional football
career, now a recovering alcoholic, with a torn-up knee,
Dermot sets out to solve the murder of his godfather with
the help of his Micmac Indian cousin, his paraplegic tenant,
and a former teammate. Dermot's investigation has him
tangling with members of the IRA, FBI, and the Boston mob.
He also is forced to contend with Charlestown's code of
silence and the norms of the neighborhood where he grew up.
Feeling like he did at the height of his game, Dermot uses
his Native American intuition and Irish good looks to help
him uncover clues. Dermot stumbles upon bits and pieces of
information that he cobbles together into an unlikely theory
which leads him on an unexpected trail and to a new mystery
that could cost him his life.
