Description

Dermot Sparhawk, a former all-American football star at Boston College, returns in Beyond the Bridge, the prequel to Tom MacDonald's award-winning debut novel, The Charlestown Connection. In Beyond the Bridge, Sparhawk, a struggling alcoholic, agrees to help find the killer of an accused pedophile priest. When two more priests are slain in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood, it becomes evident that it is the work of a sadistic serial killer who crucifies his prey after killing them. Sparhawk blazes an unconventional trail to the killer that puts him at odds with the very people he is trying to help and initiates a turf war with law enforcement. He gathers a cadre of unlikely allies, including a parish priest, a police lab criminalist, the district attorney, and a state police lieutenant who help to rebuff attempts to derail him from the case. Then, with the help of his Micmac Indian cousin and his paraplegic tenant and former Boston College teammate, Sparhawk bulldozes his way to the truth, while putting his own life at risk.

Advance Praise

Praise for Tom MacDonald & The Charlestown Connection

“…noirish tale of murder and misdirection. A solid debut.” — David Pitt, Booklist, July 2011

"The Charlestown Connection is a thoroughly entertaining story. I truly enjoyed the information I gleaned about the ultimate prize that everyone is after and the secret methods that Jeepster used. I am not giving away any of the wonderfully, thrilling secrets in this story. Tom MacDonald has happily entertained this reader and I would like to read another Dermot Sparhawk story. I definitely will be checking lists for future Tom MacDonald stories”

—Reviewed by Sabrina Marino, FreshFiction.com, July 2011

“MacDonald deftly juggles all the plot balls he throws in the air in his solid thriller debut.”

—Publishers Weekly, June 2011

“Brisk pacing and plenty of bad guys keep the pages turning in MacDonald’s art heist tale. The jump into art forgery is a big leap, but MacDonald keeps all his plays moving in a winning style. He introduces intriguing, flawed characters and atypical neighborhoods, making for a highly entertaining read.”

—Teresa L. Jacobsen, Library Journal, July 2011
