Despite a recent decline in New York City’s crime rate, the astute detective skills of Joey Mancuso and his crime-solving partner, Father Dominic O’Brian, continue to be in high demand. Thus, it comes as no surprise when Mancuso is summoned to a chilling crime scene in Lower Manhattan, where he confronts a gruesome and baffling murder.The victim, Oscar Stanton, met his demise in broad daylight at Washington Square Park, shortly after lunch. A hasty investigation reveals that the real Oscar Stanton was involved in cybersecurities for the Department of Defense (DOD)—and, not surprisingly, lost his life in Afghanistan.True to Mancuso’s knack for weaving intricate tales as intricately connected as those of Sherlock Holmes, it is discovered that the imposter Stanton’s lunch companion had recently been under surveillance by FBI agent Marcy Martinez—the very woman Mancuso is married to.When crucial evidence from the crime scene is discovered in Marcy’s car, and her hands test positive for gunshot residue, Mancuso realizes she has been set up.
