Excerpt from McCarty Incog
There's a storm brewing, Mac. I don't like the brassy look to the sky, I'm telling you, and I misdoubt that this old tub will get us to that Matta - whatever its heathen name is - before the devil and all breaks loose! The lanky figure in Oil skins straightened beside the pounding motor of the weather-beaten dory and glanced wistfully back at the shore line of Cape Cod.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Timothy McCarty, an ex-police officer who has retired to a quiet life in New York City. However, McCarty is unable to shake his past and finds himself drawn back into the world of crime when he and his friend, Dennis Riordan, become entangled in a mysterious murder. The author vividly portrays the world of 19th-century crime, highlighting the stark contrast between the law and the lawless, and the allure of the chase. The novel's core themes explore the power of loyalty, the weight of the past, and the enduring nature of the human desire for justice. The story takes a surprising turn when McCarty finds himself accused of the very crime he is investigating, and he must navigate the murky waters of suspicion and deceit to clear his name, all the while haunted by the tragic loss of his friend. The book offers a compelling examination of the intricate dynamics of friendship, the complexities of human nature, and the enduring appeal of a good mystery.
