The Penitent One
From the acclaimed author of ITW Award finalist Murder Board comes a searing case that will drive Detective Michael Kelly to the brink.
Boston Homicide Detective Michael Kelly has just been called to a gruesome crime scene at a church. A priest has been murdered, and Kelly's bosses see a media circus in the making.
Kelly sees a connection to a cold case that has haunted him for years.
With the FBI now involved, Kelly must use instincts honed on the tough streets of Dorchester to help investigators stay one step ahead of a cruel killer. And he must rely on the lifelong bonds forged on the streets where he grew up to provide him with answers.
Because this murdered priest was just the first step on an unrelenting path of vengeance—and the killer isn’t going to stop until his own twisted brand of justice gets served.
Brian Shea brings his background as a former detective to write propulsive, tautly plotted thrillers, and The Penitent One is his most intense book yet.

Brian Shea
Brian Shea, or Brian Christopher Shea, is a Wall Street Journal, Amazon Bestselling, and ITW Award finalist author. With over thirty thrillers to his name, you may think it would be time to slow down. On the contrary. His passion for storytelling continues to grow.
His international experiences began early in life when, at the young age of eleven, his father uprooted the family and moved to Saudi Arabia. The two years spent overseas came with a myriad of adventures as he traveled across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Some highlights from that time included a Christmas spent in a tribal village Mombasa, Kenya where an Irish priest delivered the entire mass in Swahili. A competitive swimmer in his youth, Brian travelled to Cairo, Egypt for an international meet. The competition paled in comparison to the awe of standing before the great pyramids and riding horseback across the sand swept desert. The cultural experience and the amazing people he encountered along the way greatly influenced, finding their way into the characters he creates and the worlds they inhabit.
