Cases Closed: A Danny Boyland novel

NYMPD Detective Daniel Boyland settles back into his old job in the Nassau Homicide Squad, and when a golfer discovers two badly-mutilated bodies on the side of a golf course fairway, Danny and his partner, Virgil "Spider" Webb investigate. The bodies are identified as men wanted for the torture murder of Patty Ann Malloy, the pregnant middle daughter of Governor Thomas Keegan. Nailed to their foreheads are white index cards spelling out, in blood, the words CASE CLOSED.The investigation zeros in on Santino "Sonny Slick" Abbate, a Mob leader who was boyhood friends with Governor Keegan. Physical evidence implicates Sonny in the murders and also in two murders which occurred 34 years earlier -- murders that reach right up to the Governor's office and eventually force him into an agonizing decision. Will he pardon Sonny for the golf course murders, or allow him to die to protect himself from public exposure for the terrible deed he committed long ago?
