"It's an excellent read!" -- Lloyd Devereaux Richards, Bestselling Author of Stone Maidens and Maidens of the Cave

A Young Girl 30 Years Dead. An Investigation 30 Years Cold. A Small Town 30 Years Haunted. A Killer 30 Years Free.

Until Now.

All Deserve Justice. All Need Redemption.

State of Redemption is a riveting novel about a decades-old cold case murder that resurfaces to haunt a politically privileged District Attorney on the verge of being elected Governor of Vermont.

What happened on that summer night has long been forgotten by most in the small community of Milford, Vermont.

But not by the young victim's grieving parents, a parish priest with his own hidden secret, and a malevolent family patriarch.

And not by a frightened boy of ten unable to fully comprehend what he saw from a darkened alley.

Now, thirty years older he makes a shocking discovery that rocks Milford, shakes Vermont’s power structure to its core, and threatens his life and the life of the woman he's come to love.

State of Redemption by Richard McKeown is part crime thriller and part political intrigue. It tells a story of how the privileged and the poor, the innocent and the guilty, and the good and the evil finally receive the justice they deserve. And the freedom they need.

With hints of John Grisham, William Styron and Scott Turow, State of Redemption is a delightfully moving read for lovers of crime, mystery, cold cases, conspiracy, suspense, and political intrigue." --- Barnaby Dinges, Author of Ragged Run

"Richard McKeown’s page-turning novel, State of Redemption, has everything a thriller reader wants: fleshed-out characters, a decades-old unsolved murder, political maneuverings, sexual misconduct, and an exciting denouement. I’m ready for his second book!" --- Joe David Rice, Author of An Undercurrent of Murder

Great Listen

I really liked this story! It took a little bit to get into it due to repetitive wording in the first chapter, but once I got past the first chapter, it really took off! I enjoyed the mystery and suspense! I liked watching the characters stories unfold, seeing who was guilty of certain things and who was actually innocent. Overall, I liked this story! Don’t let the cover art or first chapter detour you from this story. There is so much to unpack! It’s a great story!
