About When Secrets Come to Light: A novel of love and tangled friendships
When retired NYC detective Tom Cavanaugh suggested renewing friendships with old teammates, he hadn’t seen in fifty years, he never expected it would unearth secrets leading to misgivings, conflict, violence and murder. He never really believed his late mother’s warning, “The worst is yet to come” – until now. To find the killer, Cavanaugh must struggle with friendships, doubts, promises, principles, and age. Meeting the five remaining players of his eighth-grade basketball team (a prominent banker, a well-known lawyer, a pharmaceutical salesman, an astrophysicist, and a black garage mechanic) at the wake of another friend, Cavanaugh finds himself drawn into controversy and uncertainty, defending one of his former best friends who claims to have had spiritual visions that seem to give him the ability to know secrets and to heal. As the men rotate monthly card games, and the story moves through the boroughs of New York City, animosity builds, careers are threatened, and warnings expressed until the garage mechanic is brutally beaten and then killed. Cavanaugh fights his own demons and sets out to find the killer of his childhood friend.
