Mac McKenzie Mysteries (Paperback)
2 total works
Mac McKenzie spends his time doing favours for friends. His latest effort seems simple enough: Find out what's been killing his pal's honeybees. But with only a minimal amount of digging, McKenzie soon turns up a hornet's nest of trouble. A vicious hood named Frank Crosetti suddenly and mysteriously disappears leaving behind a rape and a lifeless body. With only the faintest of trails to follow and an angry group of federal agents gunning for him, Mac dives under- ground, taking a stack of cash and a small arsenal with him. Before long he's deep in the forgotten corners of the Cities, sniffing for any sign of Crosetti, unable to rest until he gets results.
Mac McKenzie has a lot of old girlfriends. But only one went on to marry the current governor of the state of Minnesota. And only one is calling him with a desperate request to meet in secret. The First Lady is carrying an email that contains a nasty rumour about her husband, and the truth is buried decades deep in a small town's history. Of course Mac always has plenty of time on his hands and has experience handling such matters for his friends. So he heads straight into the governor's past, planning to poke around and see if he can stir up a little information. Before long, someone starts poking him back, and it's clear that he has stirred up nothing but trouble. Mac is soon shifting through a complex web of interlocking secrets and lies, some decades- old, and some rooted violently in the present day.
