A dead man in a schoolyard. A diamond in his mouth. A Mystery that goes back decades. Two rival crime gangs-the Shiners and the Travellers-are already on the brink of war when a body is found hanging from a schoolyard fence. Detective Frank Yakabuski is called in to investigate and immediately identifies the dead man.
It's Agustus Morrissy, leader of the Shiners. In retaliation, the Shiners soon murder a high-ranking Traveller and kidnap the twelve-year-old granddaughter of the gang's leader. With the town of Springfield about to erupt in violence, Yak turns to the one man who knows the gangs better than anyone: his father, a retired detective with ties to both sides.
With the clock ticking, Yakabuski must stop a gang war, find a missing child, and trap a killer.
Nothing will prepare you for the shocking conclusion. CAPE DIAMOND is the explosive second installment in the
Frank Yakabuski Mystery Series by Edgar(R)-nominated and Arthur Ellis Award-nominated
Ron Corbett-a northern noir thriller packed with high-stakes action, shifting loyalties, and an ending that will shock.
