THE BAD HAIL MARY
About this book
When Sean Delaney is asked to paint a portrait of recent suicide victim Darius Trefus from photos, he's wary of doing it, but times are tight, so he agrees. Part of the deal is to clear out Darius's filthy flat, and this task is all the more onerous when he's attacked for no apparent reason. He suspects that Darius's apparent suicide was murder, and finds clues to a deeper mystery that he decides to leave alone, especially as he's threatened. But when the dead man's sexy stepmother is accused of murdering her husband, and appeals to Sean to clear her name, he cannot resist probing the mystery further. In trying to prove her innocence, Sean stumbles upon an age-old mystery and scandal, and when he tries to make it public people get killed. It's a scandal that threatens to rock the British establishment to the core. . .
