About the book:
A Catherine O'Brien Mystery.
When Jonathan and Susan
Luther are murdered in their home, St. Paul homicide detective Catherine
O'Brien and her partner Louise discover this isn't the first time the Luther
family has been visited by tragedy. Is it a case of bad family luck or is there
something more?
Excerpt“Way to go, O’Brien.” Bob Shackelford leaned over my shoulder and tapped the newspaper. “Front page. I think that’s a first for you. Usually your tirades are limited to interoffice email. You’re really stepping up in the world.”“Thanks, Shackelford. Say, you oughta have that growth looked at.”“What growth.”I pointed to his head. “Oh, never mind, it’s your face.”“Haw, haw, O’Brien. Very childish”He was right but it was the best I could manage on limited coffee.He lifted the paper from my desk and unfolded it in mid-air. “At least the story appears on the bottom half of the front page. Hardly anyone looks at the bottom half.”The headline read, Saint Paul Police Defensive Over Botched Investigation. Under the headline was a photo of me in front of Pam Hind’s house. The photographer had snapped the photo while I was speaking. My lips curled back from my teeth and I was pointing into the crowd. I looked like KC when he sees the neighbor’s cat on our porch.Shackelford tweaked the edge of the paper. “It took me a whole ten seconds to skim down far enough to see this article.”I snatched the paper from his hands and began to read.Officer Catherine O’Brien, a seven-year veteran of the Saint Paul Police Department, gave an impromptu press conference outside the house of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Luther who were murdered inside their Saint Paul area home Tuesday morning.Officer O’Brien, stumbled drunkenly down the sidewalk, scolded the media, and referred to the press as “vultures” after attempts to question the officer about the path of the homicide investigation. This outburst is just the latest in what has become a pattern of denial and hostility by the Saint Paul Police Department and crime lab when questions regarding investigative procedures arise.
