With two street gangs on the brink of war, Detective Michael Kelly must solve a murder before the entire town goes up in flames. THE SECOND NOVEL OF THE NEW BOSTON CRIME THRILLER SERIES BY FORMER DETECTIVE BRIAN SHEA. Boston Homicide Detective Michael Kelly just took his latest case. It seemed simple enough: a convenience store clerk gunned down in cold blood. There’s just one catch...the store was under the protection of the Irish mob. When all evidence points to an up-and-coming street gang, the mob closes in. But after a second shooting occurs, the city is set on a course for all-out war—unless the shooter can be brought to justice. Kelly is in a race against time to solve the murders and prevent further bloodshed. But his investigation leads him down a dark path...and exposes a greater level of corruption than he ever thought possible. ______________________________ BRIAN SHEA has served as both a military officer and law enforcement Detective.

Author
Author also writes under Brian Shea BRIAN CHRISTOPHER SHEA has spent most of his adult life in service to his country and local community. He honorably served as an officer in the U.S. Navy. In his civilian life, he reached the rank of Detective and accrued ten years of law enforcement experience between Texas and Connecticut. Somewhere in the mix he spent five years as a fifth-grade school teacher. Brian’s myriad of life experience is woven into the tapestry of each character’s design. He resides in New England and is blessed with an amazing wife and three beautiful daughters. Writing has always been a dream, but life seemed to find a way of interrupting. It wasn’t until recently that he dedicated time to this passion. His first book, The Camel’s Back, gave him a much-needed mental break from his work investigating atrocities against children. He allotted time in the morning each day. Usually waking at 5 to bang away on his manuscript. The second round of daily writing would occur after his children were asleep. He proved that working full-time and raising a family were no longer valid excuses to putting off his novel.
