Dead Red (The Raymond Donne Mysteries Book 3)

In the city that never sleeps, Raymond Donne, a school teacher in New York City, received an unexpected phone call that would turn his night into a nightmare. Ricky Torres, his former colleague from his days as a cop, urgently needed Ray's help in the middle of the night. Ricky, who had been driving a taxi since returning from his service as a Marine in Iraq, picked up Ray, but before he could explain the situation, the taxi's windows exploded under a hail of bullets. Ricky was killed, and Ray was knocked unconscious as he tried to pull his friend to safety.

Although Ricky was gone, Ray was determined to find out who was responsible for his death and why. The only clue he had was that Ricky had been working with Jack Knight, another former cop-turned-private investigator. They had been investigating the disappearance of a PR giant's daughter, a case that had ties to the same Brooklyn streets where all three of them used to work. Ray couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason Ricky was killed, or if he had been caught up in something even more dangerous.

Filled with unexpected twists and deep-running secrets, "Dead Red" is the latest thrilling mystery in Tim O'Mara's acclaimed series. As Ray delves deeper into the investigation, he confronts the haunting question: Is there anything he could have done to save Ricky while he was still alive, or is there anything he can do for him now that he's gone?

The narrative unfolds with a captivating pace, weaving together the intricate details of the case and the personal struggles Ray faces in his pursuit of justice. Readers are drawn into a world where loyalties are tested, and the lines between right and wrong become blurred. With each twist and turn, the story keeps the reader engaged, leaving them to wonder if Ray will be able to uncover the truth and find a sense of closure for his fallen friend.

"Dead Red" is a testament to the author's skill in crafting a gripping crime fiction tale that not only entertains but also explores the deeper themes of friendship, loss, and the personal toll that comes with seeking justice. As Ray navigates the complexities of the case and his own emotions, readers are left to ponder the same questions: What could have been done, and what can be done now?
