The Father's Day Murder

FRIENDS UNTIL DEATH

Every year, the Morris Avenue Boys–chums since childhood–gather for a Father’s Day reunion dinner. Now late in middle age, these men can bask in the rewards of honest success. So which of them seizes the opportunity that fateful evening to pull out an ice pick and stab to death the group’s most celebrated member, novelist Arthur Wein?

As investigator (and former nun) Christine Bennett peels back the layers of the past, forty years’ worth of secrets emerge from the shadows–and the web of lies, theft, adultery, and blackmail woven by the once-innocent Bronx playmates rivals even the darkest plot of the dead man’s novels. But in real life, this flesh-and-blood villain may never be caught. . . .
