Raymond Donne wasn't always a schoolteacher. Not only did he
patrol the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as one of New York's
Finest, but being the nephew of the chief of detectives, he was
expected to go on to bigger things. At least he was until the
accident that destroyed his knees. Unable to do the job the way he
wanted, he became a teacher in the same neighborhood, and did
everything he could to put the force behind him and come to terms
with the change.
Then Frankie Rivas, a student in Ray's class and a baseball phenom,
stops showing up to school. With Frankie in danger of failing and
missing out on a scholarship, Ray goes looking for him, only to
find Frankie's father bludgeoned to death in their apartment.
Frankie and his younger sister are gone, possibly on the run. But
did Frankie really kill his father? Ray can't believe it. But then
who did, and where are Frankie and his sister? Ray doesn't know,
but if he's going to have any chance of bringing them home safely,
he's going to have to return to the life, the people, and the
demons he walked out on all those years ago.
Intense, authentic, and completely gripping, Tim O'Mara's
"Sacrifice Fly" is an outstanding debut from a stellar new voice in
crime fiction.
