Mystery
From critically acclaimed, Edgar-nominated author Steve
Ulfelder—Conway Sax is back in a thrilling and
heart-wrenching story of how far a father will go to save
his son Conway Sax is a man seeking redemption. A man with a deeply
checkered past currently paying for his sins by helping Gus
Biletnikov stay sober. Wise-ass Gus, son of a wealthy
investment banker, drives Conway nuts. But he also reminds
him of his own estranged son, and so Conway finds himself
deeply invested in his wellbeing. When a brutal triple-murder takes place in Gus's halfway
house, Conway suspects Gus was the intended victim, and
resolves to find the killer in his usual full-tilt,
no-holds-barred fashion. The list of suspects soon includes
the longtime organized-crime warlord of Springfield,
Massachusetts; Gus’s own father, who’s a bundle of
insecurity despite his fortune; the father’s second wife,
a stunning beauty webbed in ugly motives; and a Houston con
man who’ll swipe your gold fillings but crack you up while
he does so. But the case is no laughing matter to Conway
when somebody close to him is murdered. To find the killer
and prevent yet more senseless death, he needs help from
both an ambitious Brazilian-American state cop, and an
unlikely criminal source. Along the way, Conway’s personal
responsibilities clash with his vow to help fellow
alcoholics, forcing him to make his toughest decision yet in
this unforgettable page-turner reminiscent of Robert B.
Parker and Dennis Lehane.
