Justice Jersey-Style
Description
The three cases, Sisters of the Moon, Sins of Siobhan and The Dunkirk Affair share a common thread. They involve mysteries surrounding characters in PI McKenzie "Mac" Cole's personal orbit requiring Mac's unique Jersey-style investigative skills to solve.
In the opener, Cole's ex-wife, the quirky Beth Langdon, is missing days before she is due to be remarried. Her mortician fiancée Tanner Dansfield III is frantic. Did she get cold feet or has something more sinister happened?
Dansfield elicits Mac's help in finding her. To do so Mac must follow an incongruous trail that leads from one bizarre character to another through an absurd maze of wedding plans.
Along the way, the cynical PI is forced to revisit his own less-than-blissful marriage to Beth, where he encounters shocking revelations that propel him headlong into a cauldron of confrontation with a peculiar goddess cult known as the Sisters of the Moon.
The second tale has roots mired in the social unrest of 1970s Ireland, where sixteen-year-old Siobhan McGee has mysteriously disappeared from her Tullamore home. Fifty years later, brother Titus McGee, with a sizeable inheritance looming, searches for his long-lost sister with a single clue in hand. The clue leads him to Trenton, where the former Tullamore village priest, Father James Mahoney is now residing. Obtaining the octogenarian's help is doomed unless Titus can convince Mac to intervene.
In The Dunkirk Affair, the game's afoot when the stripper, ex-wife of Mac's mechanic, Mike Dunkirk, brings tidings of his death. As the Brit is being laid to rest, Mac is determined to find the truth behind the circumstances surrounding his friend's untimely death. What he uncovers is a complex plot straight out of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, where truth is the victim when everyone has something to hide.
