About this ebook
Dermot Sparhawk, a former all-American football star at Boston College, returns in Beyond the Bridge, the prequel to Tom MacDonald's award-winning debut novel, The Charlestown Connection. In Beyond the Bridge, Sparhawk, a struggling alcoholic, agrees to help find the killer of an accused pedophile priest. When two more priests are slain in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood, it becomes evident that it is the work of a sadistic serial killer who crucifies his prey after killing them. Sparhawk blazes an unconventional trail to the killer that puts him at odds with the very people he is trying to help and initiates a turf war with law enforcement. He gathers a cadre of unlikely allies, including a parish priest, a police lab criminalist, the district attorney, and a state police lieutenant who help to rebuff attempts to derail him from the case. Then, with the help of his Micmac Indian cousin and his paraplegic tenant and former Boston College teammate, Sparhawk bulldozes his way to the truth, while putting his own life at risk.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5BEYOND THE BRIDGE is a murder mystery involving the Catholic church. The main character is Dermot, a star football player until he was injured and unable to play. Since then he has become an alcoholic living with his aunt and working in the churches' food pantry. Upon starting to investigate the murders Dermot finds that he has an interest and for the first time in a long while, he wants to do something. Although the main character, Dermot, has his drawbacks, he is likable enough and at times you find yourself rooting for him to pass the liquor store by and just go home to bed. Even though he has alcoholic blackouts and ends up in the hospital at one point, he still manages to solve the mystery by visiting places such as Marthas Vineyard, going to AA meetings and helping old friends out along the way. The story is well written and with believable characters and scenes. When you finally reach the ending and learn the killers identity, there's one little twist taking you by surprise. If you like a good murder mystery you'll enjoy this one.
