Dead Beckoning by
Mike Cobb is a well-crafted historical fiction with a strong appeal to fans of
crime thrillers and sleuths. A single gunshot leaves an Atlanta businessman
writhing in pain that eventually ends in death. It is hard to determine if he
shot himself or was shot by someone else. But a police captain is determined to
uncover the truth behind the murder, little does he know that there are many
who will do all to derail his efforts, including corrupt detectives and an
untrustworthy commissioner. Can Police Chief Arthur Connolly and Captain
William Manly solve this case?
This is a twisty, richly drawn novel that will delight fans
of sleuths. Set in 1895, the author creates a captivating portrait of the
historical realities of the time, showing what captured the minds and hearts of
the characters right off the bat. The story starts with a compelling premise —
a gunshot that leaves a prominent businessman dead creates a sense of mystery
that permeates the entire narrative. Readers want to know who fired the shot
and why? Characters are elaborately written and finely drawn and I enjoyed
watching as they evolved through the complex moments of this tale. Themes of
family, murder, and corruption are well-explored in this beautifully told
story. The luscious blend of murder and mystery will captivate readers, and the
infusion of reality into the narrative will have them turning the pages. Dead Beckoning is a tale that is
delightful, deftly plotted, and expertly delivered.
