The Photograph - Tapa dura

A 20-year-old photograph picturing six young men is sent to Michael Adams, a private detective in Chicago. Michael then receives a phone call from one of the faces in the picture. It seems another man in the group photo has apparently just taken his own life. The detective decides to fly home to New York and attend the funeral, where he can meet up with the caller, Ritchie Sweet. Ritchie suspects his friend's suicide was really foul play, but can't prove it. Michael is stymied, until Ritchie is killed trying to pass the detective a clue to prove that the suicide was really murder. Michael then realizes that each person in The Photograph is in jeopardy, so he races to find the remaining men and solve the crime before the killer can strike again. Besides dealing with the murderer, Michael has the New York Police Department following his every move, and Michael is also having a hot romance that keeps him off balance. This fast-paced action thriller will keep you glued until the last page. Author J. Kevin Costello grew up on Long Island, New York. He is retired and lives with his wife in Wheaton, Illinois.
