Download Obit: A Collins-Burke Mystery, Book 2 AudioBook Free
Way back when, Declan Burke fled Ireland at night of night, started out a new life in New York City, and hasn't looked back again - until one morning when he picks up the newspaper and reads the obituary of one Cathal Murphy. He sees simultaneously that the obituary is a coded conclusion of his own life and probably a thinly veiled death threat. He changes to Halifax lawyer Monty Collins for advice, but when Monty starts to research the obit's allusions to Declan's IRA recent, Declan determines to keep his mouth sealed. But keeping old secrets becomes much more difficult following a burst of gunfire at a family wedding and the appearance of Leo Killeen, the commanding officer of Declan's past battalion in Dublin. Declan and Monty are confronted by a cast of enigmatic character types, including the owner of any nightclub frequented by the New York mob; a sultry chanteuse; and Burke's hotheaded boy Francis, whose resentment and dubious activities arranged the family over a road to devastation. The subsequent breakthrough of any body in a rundown Brooklyn smooth causes Declan to confront the suspicion that he has been manipulated all along by an unseen palm.
