Description
Decorated Denver Detective Bobby Macaulay has faced down a truckload of
tragedy over recent years. The death of his partner; the loss of his own
leg in the line of duty; the companionship of his beloved wife to
cancer; his faith in God to his inner demons.
After the man who
ruined his leg and killed his first partner is executed, Macaulay
becomes the lead detective investigating the Sloan's Lake murders. The
method of killing in this double-homicide is so heinous it leads
Macaulay and his partner down an ever-darkening path—one that must be
traversed if they are to discover the evil forces behind the slaughter.
Just
when Bobby Macaulay is questioning the very career that has been his
salvation, he will discover a heroic history buried within his own
family roots: The Clan MacAulay—a deep family lineage of protectors at
the very core of a millenniums-long war against unimaginable evil.
Black
Beast is the first in a series of Clan of MacAulay novels—a stellar
first outing for new author R.S. Guthrie. The book is a page-turner that
avoids meandering, written with tight prose that keeps the action
flowing. The reader is taken inside the heart and mind of a common hero
who will make you believe in good again—Macaulay is a believable, flawed
character with whom each of us can relate and for whom each of us will
cheer.
