Killing Frost, Shanahan's Last Case |
This is the description of Killing
Frost:
At seventy-two
Deets Shanahan is still reeling from brain surgery. He is ready to “check out.”
But fate has other plans. As he waits for the arrival of a mysterious,
unwanted, yet insistent new client, he spies a car pull in his driveway.
From his window, he sees a lady head toward his front door. This is the first
time he sees her and the last time he sees her alive.
Her death leaves too many questions. What did she want with Shanahan? Why was she
killed? And what can he, in his condition, do about it? Shanahan’s obsessive
search for answers will uncover a disturbing trail of greed, lies, ambition, sibling
rivalry and police corruption.
Twenty-five years
ago Shanahan embarked on his first case. This case is likely his last, a
touching story of age, infirmity — and love.
My first book in the series, Stone
Veil, was welcomed by The New York
Times saying the elderly detective made a “good first impression.” The
Private Eye Writers of America agreed, nominating the book for that year’s
Shamus Award in the “best first P.I. novel category. Killing Frost is the 11th in the Shanahan series, all of them set
in my hometown, Indianapolis.
Over the years, the critics have been generous in their praise.
"Tierney's 'Deets' Shanahan series,
Stone Veil, offers characters of depth and sensuality, and well-placed swipes
of razor-sharp humor." — Publishers
Weekly
"A series packed with new angles and
delights." — Booklist
Severn House, which has published the last seven Shanahan books,
has announced Killing Frost, in hardback,
will be available in the U.K. on January 1 and in the U.S. on May 1. If you’d
like to pre-order at Amazon, click here. For Barnes & Noble, click here. I’m not sure when the other
formats will be available. Reviews — the good ones, anyway — will be posted as
they arrive. And I’m sure more blatant promotions will follow as the official
release dates get closer.
