Dear Old Dead

A retired FBI agent defends a do-gooder doctor suspected of murdering a media mogul: "Haddam plays the mystery game like a master" (Chicago Tribune).

Michael Pride could have been a world-class surgeon, but his good intentions got the best of him. He opened a clinic in one of New York's roughest neighborhoods, and stuck around when gangs, drugs, and guns turned it into a war zone. Supporting his mission is Charles van Straadt, a media titan with a knack for incendiary headlines and a soft spot for good works. When a sex scandal threatens to derail Pride's clinic, van Straadt is the only one who stands by him—until the mogul is poisoned, and the doctor appears to be the only person who could have done it.

Former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian has a chance of proving Pride's innocence. In a part of New York that feels more like Beirut than Broadway, it will take more than good works for the two of them to survive.
