The Case of the Agoraphobic Man
Johnny O’Hannahan was probably the most effective detective on the Beacon Hill, Massachusetts Police Department. Yet he was forced into early retirement. But why?
Sitting in his favorite café, sipping his morning coffee with his friends, Ruby and Connor, ghosts of the past come back to haunt him.
After being called out to investigate the brutal murder of a well-known and respected agoraphobic man, O’Hannahan watches while his best friend, Sergeant Patrick “Patty” Mahoney, commits suicide using his service revolver.
Patty had left Johnny his most prized a 1966 Chevelle and sent a note by him to the captain of the department. On the sly, Johnny reads the shocking note.
Dazzled by these surreal events, O’Hannahan starts an investigation on his own and learns an explosive secret. His superior is a high-ranking official in the Italian Marcatta Crime Syndicate and others in the department are involved. What’s more, numerous unsolved cases are also linked to them.
Being snatched away by the head of Internal Affairs, Johnny is set up in a penthouse suite and given carte blanche to conduct his investigation.
In the meantime, his first cousin, Peter O’Malley, is drafted by his blood father’s family to serve as the head of the Irish Mafia working out of Maine.
In the hotel, Johnny meets a knockout woman named Maggie who is in witness protection and falls in love with her. But her case is tied in to the Italian Syndicate, and they are both on pins and needles.
Johnny is close, too close, to the whole truth. Will this hot-wired combination bring down an all out war in Boston?
The only way to know is to read this nail-biting mystery by Steven “Doc” Vinson!
