Johnny Red: A New York Murder Mystery
Alcoholic, unemployed Owen Brady returns home drunk to find Lauren, his beautiful, wealthy and promiscuous wife, lying on the living room floor. She has been brutally murdered. Aware that circumstances make him a logical suspect and confused by the gaps in his memory of the evening, Owen sets out to prove his innocence and discover the truth.
Owen embarks on a desperate binge through the bars and streets of New York City on a mission to uncover the details of his wife’s secret life. Gradually uncovering the truth, he slides deeper and deeper into an alcoholic haze, his grasp on reality blurring his ability to distinguish between reality and figments of his delusional, inebriated mind.
With gritty humor, aberrant characters and a profound understanding of the fragility of the human psyche, McCabe takes the reader on a wild downward spiral through the glittering lights and dark underside of New York City.
