A Beacon in the Mist
A Novel
by
Robert J. Daley
Obsession cuts both ways. Dr. Liam O’Keefe is a top surgeon in Washington, D.C., a master of control in the operating room. At home, it’s a different story. With three young children and a wife, Sara, who feels her career as an investigative journalist has been disregarded, the strain on their marriage is quietly reaching a breaking point. Then Sara is found murdered just blocks from their home. While the police stall, Liam begins searching for answers, and possibly for redemption. What starts as a desperate attempt to make sense of her death becomes a slow unraveling of the life they built together. The secrets she left behind. The ones he has tried to forget. Everyone is a suspect. Even Liam himself. The clues start to fall into place, but the truth is just out of reach. Set in the heart of Washington, this medical mystery peels back the polished surface of marriage, ambition, and control.
“Daley offers an arresting whodunit about a Washington, D.C., surgeon whose life is upended by a shocking murder and his own preoccupation with finding the killer…the suspense is palpable, the mystery engaging, and the characters complex and well-defined…” —Kirkus Reviews “Daley weaves a chilling and suspenseful tale of jealousy and murder—a first-rate, edge-of-your seat thriller. A Beacon in the Mist is an exceedingly well-done debut novel that will leave readers eagerly awaiting Daley’s next project.” —Joseph Hayes, author of When No One Is Watching “A Beacon in the Mist is a gripping, fast-paced yarn that will keep readers begging for more.” —Michael J. Collins, author of Hot Lights, Cold Steel
