A Beacon in the Mist

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.

​

What Liam discovers will change everything.

A Beacon in the Mist is a gripping, fast-paced yarn that will keep readers begging for more.
