Prodigal Son, The Mike Garrity Mysteries

“With the clarity of Robert B. Parker and the complexity of Michael Connolly, [this thriller] disturbs and charms at the same time.” —Booklist

Once a cancer patient, former Orlando detective Mike Garrity is a survivor—for now, at least. Death has a way of following him around, like a black cloud over his head. If it’s not his own mortality he’s thinking about, it’s someone else’s. Like his teenage daughter’s friend who just died of a suspected suicide. Or the woman he’s just met in his cancer support group, Debbie, who learns that she doesn’t have much longer to live.

Maybe Mike has gotten soft during his second chance. He can’t refuse to help Debbie when she asks him to track down the son she gave up for adoption more than twenty years ago. But his investigation leads to a dead body, which leads to Mike becoming the prime suspect in the murder. Desperate to clear his name, Mike soon uncovers a shocking betrayal. As a hurricane barrels towards the Sunshine State, a different kind of storm is brewing, one that will send Mike—and everyone he loves—running for cover . . .  

Praise for Head Games

“Carl Hiaasen fans will be thrilled to know there’s a new kid on the block. If you liked Basket Case, you’ll flip over Thomas B. Cavanagh’s sardonically and outrageously funny lead character.” —Charlotte Hughes, New York Times–bestselling author
