Cliché

by Sean Keefe

Mick Cahilly is a Cliché. An alcoholic cop on the streets of New York, he’s a reputation for somehow solving the strange and unusual cases that no one else would be seen dead trying to tackle. But now a killer has struck at the very heart of America, and before he knows it, Mick’s involved in a case that will see him pushed to his very limits, battling the supernatural in a race against time.

Somehow, at the highest level, an impossible body has been found, in a location nobody could miss. Is it real? Will there be more? And what of the ancient coins that begin to appear?

Mick’s got a secret of his own though, and before he’s finished, everything he’s ever built is going to come crashing down….

Ambitious, funny, and ultimately, hugely uplifting, Cliché is a tale of friendship, hope, and finally, redemption.

“Die Hard meets Charles Bukowski, by way of Ian Rankin”.

Reviews

[Mike Morris · Rating 3 out of 5]

It took me a few chapters to get int this but by halfway I was wanting more. It loses its way a little at the end, and felt slightly rushed but it's a decent little thriller/noir novel.
