The Eleventh Entry in the John Keegan Mystery Series will entice readers with an intricate plot and exciting conclusion.
Haunted by the apparent failure of his marriage and the remnants of a past relationship, NYPD Homicide Detective John Keegan must face his past, both in his personal and professional lives. His mistakes will come back to him, taunt him, and tempt him to revisit his life and his career.
When a young woman is mysteriously killed at a concert in Central Park, Keegan investigates even though it is not his jurisdiction. Assigned to the case by top brass, Keegan arrives on scene and is taken back over a decade to a similar case with eerily familiar circumstances. Alice Duncan has been shot but the initial evidence points to something more sinister, a criminal underground element Keegan cannot shake.
Keegan's wife, Pauline, has taken a leave of absence from their marriage and her job, leaving Keegan with the kids and a creeping suspicion the marriage has ended. He clings to hope, and as he investigates, the case brings him back to when he and Pauline first dated. At the same time, reporter Elena Moreno-Glazer, an old flame from decades before, returns to New York to cover Keegan's newly minted television fame. As his past and present collide, Keegan desperately tries to hold onto his vision of the future, where he and Pauline grow old together.
Elena and the case both distract him from this mission and bring him back to his past. His guides are Detectives Arianna Nunez and Karl Lavin, one a symbol of the future, the other a remnant from the past. Together they must solve the case as other victims find themselves in the crossfire between rival gangs. When Keegan finally discovers the link that brings everything together, part of his life is irreparably shattered and he must decide his ultimate fate.
He's been in the sights of city government since he toppled Acting Mayor Noreen McHale during his previous investigation of elected Mayor Miles LeBlanc. Keegan uncovered corruption throughout the city's politicians and now must watch his every move. He cannot be sure his assignment to this case was a setup but he promises Duncan's family he'd bring her justice. The fact that his new TV show based on his career has taken off only complicates matters and forces Keegan to decide what he truly wants out of the rest of his life.
Ghost of Days Gone By takes readers on a journey through murder investigation, the criminal underbelly of New York City, and the politics that claim to stand above the fray while treading knee deep into it. Keegan hopes to resolve his troubles, find the killer, and set his life on the right course. He must face off against two powerful criminal elements, one that runs the streets and the other that runs the city. Events of this book will connect with the last Keegan book, The Takedown, coming in late 2025.
