Produktbeschreibung
At the funeral for a legendary, old school police detective named Burke T. Renshaw, his son Dexter is confronted by an ex-con who demands a key to a safe deposit box the detective promised to hold for him while he was in prison. Dexter soon learns it's a key to a secret that his father had taken with him to his grave. And when he sets out to make sense of his father's association with this criminal, he is swept up in a stream of shifting explanations, deception, corruption, and murder stemming from a simple carjacking that occurred a dozen years earlier. When the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, Dexter faces some hard truths about his father and comes to see him in a damning new light. Meanwhile, with his own life unraveling, he sees himself in a damning new light as well; he sees A Man Askew.
Autorenporträt
Joe Costanzo was born in Pedivigliano in the mountains of Calabria in Southern Italy, a town not unlike the fictional Roccamonti in his novel Restoration. Both of his grandfathers were so-called "birds of passage" who frequently traveled back and forth between Italy and America and were the inspiration for his novel The Grand Junction. A veteran newspaper reporter, Joe covered some of the biggest news stories in the Intermountain West for almost three decades, experience that served him well in the writing of his debut novel, Graphic Times, as well as his later work, De Anima(L), and most recently, A Man Askew. His previous novel, Geodysseus, offers a literary sci-fi take on the Cold War influenced UFO hysteria.
