The first two novels in The Apostle series in one book.
Rourke is a gifted investigator. He is also a gifted killer, having worked for his Irish Mafia brother as a street enforcer. After his brother is arrested, Rourke goes down with him and spends four years in prison before he is given a second chance at life as a free man.
Recruited by the Justice Department to act as an investigator, Rourke’s freedom depends upon his willingness to investigate crimes for the Federal Prosecutor. In exchange for his talents, Rourke is allowed to keep his Central Park West condo and whatever money he had squirreled away in various banks, a considerable amount and his prized, twenty-year-old Cadillac Deville.
As he navigates between the world of being a federal investigator and reconstructing his personal relationships with his niece Pepper and his old flame, Doctor Bailey English, the two worlds collide.
When six old and retired members of organized crime disappear from their nursing homes and retirement homes, police and the FBI are baffled by their disappearance and Rourke is tasked with finding them. The six come from different groups. Italian, Russian, Jewish and Irish, but it’s all the same playground to Rourke.
The original theory is that the six retired mobsters were kidnapped for ransom, but Rourke dismisses that as demands never came forward. As a former member of the Irish Mafia, Rourke knows power is never given up willingly and he operates from that theory and soon finds himself in the middle of a situation that could cost him his life.

Jarron Rourke, The Apostle, is called back to action by the Federal Prosecutor after an innocent verdict is handed down by a grand jury of accused mobster Tony Roscoe. Arrested for murdering his wife, the grand jury set him free due to lack of evidence.
A week later, a grand jury member is murdered, shot in the back of the head with a .32 caliber revolver. A week later, another jury member is killed in identical fashion. After the seventh jury member is killed, Federal Prosecutor Bennington calls in Rourke.
Rourke, a onetime member of the Irish Mafia, was freed from prison by Bennington and recruited as his investigator. Aided by his FBI friend Cruz and assigned an assistant, Detective Jane Diaz, Rourke goes to work.
When Rourke goes to work, things always get interesting and dangerous for all involved.in The Case of the Dwindling Jury.
