Years ago, two children survived an explosion that killed their parents and older brother. Now, those distant events have far-reaching consequences when Leana Lonergan is killed in a car accident. Leana was the wealthy, beautiful, and brilliant wife of Gar, but due to the circumstances of her death, authorities aren’t sure if this was an accident or murder. On the west side of Massachusetts, Major Crimes Unit Captain Rudy Beauregard and his detectives are on the case. Gar is the most likely suspect with motive, but Beauregard isn’t sure of anything yet. He delves into the questionable auto accident that took Leana’s life and finds a lot more than expected. Who was Leana really, and what does she have to do with a woman named Mary Lou? The West Side police follow the investigation from Massachusetts to San Francisco, to the American South, and up to the Big Apple. Suddenly, they’re on the hunt for a serial killer-possibly more than one! The more he learns, the more Beauregard begins to doubt the justice system, wondering if murder is ever justified in exchange for childhood horrors.

Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts.
West-Side, MA is not too far…
‘My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age when I would raid my father’s suitcase after his return from each of his frequent business trips. There lay one, two, and sometimes three paperbacks. O’ the temptation to steal them before my older sister got them. And I read and read – probably have read 2, 000 crime novels since then.
Even at that early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!’
From There to Here…
Add to that my service as a Springfield Police Commissioner and a ward political party leader, 20 years in an earned professorship at Westfield State University and service as Chairperson of the Department of Economics and Management, my education at Boston University as an engineer, and later an MBA from Western New England College, my licenses as a Certified Public Accountant, a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor and Massachusetts Justice of the Peace, my experience in rehabbing historic residential and commercial buildings, my solo practice in taxation, my leadership as Executive Director of the Springfield Parking Authority, and most importantly my love of being a Springfield storyteller;
I write now from those experiences. I have always written but alas only to the narrow constraints of business and law; certainly often much more long-winded and with far less interesting turns of events. Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways -of life – of philosophy – about crime -about the sociopath/psychopath.’
