Prize-winning journalist and author Birdie Keane is living
with the damaging consequences following close friend Matt
Whelan's staged death and his involvement in police
corruption. As part of a close-knit Irish cop family,
Birdie is looking for answers that could prove deadly for
those involved in the deception. Birdie has written an
exclusive exposé appearing in the L.A. Times about
the corrupt, high-level cops, which includes members of her
own family. The Keanes are dealing with the family's
tainted legacy and seeing it in print makes it difficult
for all of them.
All of this attracts the interest of a twisted killer. The
first victims are in L.A.'s Southland area, and Birdies
cousin, Thom Keane, and his partner are assigned the case.
The integrity of the investigation is compromised, though,
when Thom realizes he knows the person who discovered the
victims' bodies and is now considered a suspect in their
deaths. When Thom tries to remove himself from the case, he
learns his sexual escapades have made him a target of an
integrity audit within the department. When more similar
murders occur in other jurisdictions, it's obvious a serial
killer is at work. Even though he's on suspension, Thom and
Birdie decide to conduct their own investigation into the
killings. What they don't anticipate is how it will affect
other issues in their lives.
In this sequel to Terry Nolan's superb BURDEN OF
TRUTH, the Keane family's saga continues as they deal with
major problems within their midst and struggle to come to
terms with the aftermath of corruption. The fast-paced,
multifaceted storyline of GLASS HOUSES is told with crisp
characterization and precise plot development. Fans of
police procedural thrillers will revel in the reading of
GLASS HOUSES by Terry Nolan.
Old Rivalries, New Secrets, and Fresh Blood in L.A.'s
Southland
Reeling from heart-aching losses, newly sober investigative
journalist Birdie Keane immerses herself in wrapping up a
famous cold case, the Paige Street murder. The newspaper
feature creates a maelstrom of unwelcome scrutiny on her
close-knit Irish cop family. The Keane clan, still
struggling to escape the stigma of having a dirty cop in
their ranks, has a few secrets better left alone.
Birdie's story also catches the attention of a serial
killer who leaves a bloody message at each crime scene. She
teams up with her cousin, hard-living homicide detective
Thom Keane, himself the focus of an investigation, to catch
the killer. The cousins have much to lose, professionally
and personally, as they try to solve the case and bring the
killing spree to a halt.
