Danger gets a little too close to home for ex-cop Raymond Donne . .
. When his father's former law partner, Harry Stover, is murdered
while being celebrated as Williamsburg, Brooklyn's "Man of the
Year," ex-cop turned schoolteacher Raymond Donne fights his old
police instincts and vows to stay out of the investigation. That is
until his childhood home is broken into and one of his students is
threatened. Has a decades old case of his father's come back to
haunt the Donne family? Could the murder have something to do with
the victim's charitable work connecting low-income kids with
business leaders in Williamsburg? Raymond never has liked
unanswered questions, and when the answers come a little too close
to his home and school, he decides he's not above giving the cops a
little unwanted help.
Teacher Raymond Donne finds himself embroiled in another baffling
murder case when his friend MoJo is found dead on the school roof,
pierced by an arrow. On the rooftop of Raymond Donne's school,
Maurice 'MoJo' Joseph's lifeless body is found with an arrow
sticking out of its back. Mojo had recently gone through drug
rehab, but was turning his life around. He had a baby on the way
while also working at the school and for a security company. But
was he so clean? Heroin was found in his system and in his
possession, and he'd been secretly carrying out security work for a
notorious White Nationalist. Donne's ex-cop instincts tell him
something doesn't add up. When Allison Rogers, an online journalist
and Donne's girlfriend, runs insider stories from a runaway of the
White Nationalists and a mysterious man turns up saying MoJo was
working for him, Donne takes it upon himself, with the help of his
techno-friend Edgar, to investigate. What was MoJo up to, and was
he back to his old ways?

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.
