Detective Brian McKenna

A terrorist stranglehold tightens on New York...and only one cop can break its grip. Born in the mountainous jungles of Peru. Smuggled to the concrete jungles of NYC. It's the most ingenious terrorist setup ever conceived, and it could bring the city- and the nation- to its knees. Former NYPD detective Brian McKenna has tangled with the Shining Path before. His new identity and early retirement in Florida were supposed to put him beyond the terrorist army's retribution. But, when the guerrillas cut down the son of his closest friend, New York's police commissioner Ray Brunette, McKenna's lured back into the center of the action, and into a deadly battle of wits with a brilliant man and a cunning and dangerous woman. Former NYPD Captain Dan Mahoney spins a chillingly authentic tale of a city held hostage, a city at the edge of disaster.

NYPD Detective Brian McKenna is back where he belongs-hunting down a mysterious killer who preys upon the city's most forgotten members. At first blush, it seems as if these homeless men have frozen to death on the city streets. But this succession of deaths seems too suspicious for McKenna to ignore. McKenna makes some curious findings: all the victims were HIV-positive, and all were seen taking their last drink from a bottle of wine given them by a gaunt, black-clad man who goes by the name "Hyde." Who is this sinister figure-and why is he killing harmless men who are already at death's door? A hell-bent McKenna must chase the murderer from the streets of Manhattan through Europe and finally to Costa Rica to uncover the astounding answer. With first-hand experience and masterful storytelling skills, former NYPD Capitan Dan Mahoney presents his most thrilling work to date.

In a secluded New York City park, a double homicide draws two detectives named McKenna. One is a legend; the other is a brilliant young investigator. Together, they are entering a case that will grow more bizarre and more horrifying with each new piece of shocking evidence... One of the victims was tied to a tree and slowly tortured to death. Veteran detective Tommy McKenna realizes that he has seen this killer's work before- eighteen years earlier... Tommy will get a second crack at his killer. Brian McKenna gets to work with a legend. And, both men are setting in motion an investigation that will take them to California, Arizona, a Costa Rican mountaintop, and all the way to the Fare East. The two McKennas are on the trail of two human monsters who have been killing for two decades-and murder isn't even the worst of their crimes...
