The Dead Professor (Paperback)

Edison Dean rose from humble beginnings on the south side of Boston to become a Harvard Law grad, a CIA agent, a Wall Street financier and finally, upon retirement, a Boston Law School professor. He seemed a model of success for the socially disadvantaged to admire and emulate, proving a poor 'Southie' could reach the top by hard work and dedication. But apparently not everyone admired the good professor because he was murdered in a cruel and unusual manner in the back yard of his posh suburban home on a Saturday afternoon when his barbecue blew up and burned him to death. Investigation by two Boston police officers, Detective Lieutenant Shane Kelly and his Native American partner Sakko Jake Star, reveal a twisted life-path traveled by the dead professor in the clandestine spook world of espionage, treason, and money laundering for Arab terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks in New York City. The investigation takes unexpected twists and turns, as it seems the two Boston cops are close to proving which of the likely suspects is the killer.
