KENNEDY
WRITER
"The sense of place, the well-observed period details, the flawed but engaging characters, the gritty writing, the compelling plot, the authentic voice… it makes for a twisty, gripping ride that resolves in an emotionally satisfying denouement."
- R. N. Morris, Author of 'A Gentle Axe'
