401 to Kingston

When broken mirrors and shattered psyches collide at a place called Rockwood, what’s reflected to a killer and his pursuers will mesh time and distance, fact and fiction, sanity and madness, and the irreconcilable paradoxes of the human mind.

After a string of murders along the Provincial Route 401, between Montreal and Kingston, spanning five decades, a retired serial killer kills again, but why?

As Montrealer, Candace Weatherby, a former Philly Police consultant, struggles to cope with the memory of her kidnapping at the hands of a wannabe Russian Oligarch, she and her retired Philly Cop boyfriend, Bones Sullivan, are cryptically drawn into the decades-old, unsolved murder investigation.

After Bones and Candace are brought in to assist authorities in Montreal and Kingston, Candace, tired of living in the shadow of a North Philly legend, wants to break free, but will Bones' dead, former partner, Frank Collazo, allow her to go it alone?

The shocking next segment in the FalconClaw Detective series will shatter your perception of what is real and what is not. While this book is a part of The FalconClaw Detective Series, The 401 to Kingston is perfect as a stand-alone, and can be enjoyed without reading any of the first six books in the series.

As a bonus, this book also serves as a tribute book to the Tragically Hip (Canada's Band). Hip guitarist, Rob Baker, has graciously written a piece for this book titled, My City. Rob writes about his hometown of Kingston and its rich history. While many famous people move away from their hometowns, Rob is still there, and he loves his city. Michael Cook, as part of his tribute to one of his favorite all-time bands, has sprinkled Hip references throughout this book in very interesting ways. Some are in your face, and some are hidden cleverly amongst the words, paragraphs, and pages. Can you find them all?

I am in disbelief!

This was one of the most complex and emotional reading journeys that I have ever encountered. The depth of the characters convinced me that this wasn't fiction, but rather a story that involved people that I knew. A heartbreaking story of the tragedy that some families bear, but also one of mental illness and schizophrenia and complete detachment with reality. I didn't know what was real or not in this book. You think to yourself... what a great story before you get to the end, and the the shocking ending leaves you aghast and stunned. I MUST now read the six books that came before. This author had won me over. Wow! Just Wow!!
