The Parting Glass

A Family Reckoning

Fifteen years ago, Johnny Shannon disappeared from his hometown, leaving behind the people he loved and the secrets he promised never to confront.

Now, a phone call changes everything. His father is dead. His brother needs him. And going back means stepping into a past that never stopped waiting.
But home isn’t what it used to be.
New York is different. The people are colder, older, and someone is watching.
As Johnny digs into his father’s legacy, he uncovers a chilling conspiracy that stretches back decades—one that threatens not only his own life, but everyone he’s ever cared about.

Deception runs deep. Family ties are frayed. And the truth? It might be the most dangerous thing of all.
The Parting Glass is a gritty, slow-burn thriller perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Dennis Lehane—where secrets simmer, stakes escalate, and no one walks away clean.
