The Last Confession: A Crime Novel

Plagued by nightmares of a past murder, a Philadelphia detective must find the true killer in a crime novel that “starts with a bang and doesn’t let up” (Booklist).

Having come of age on the mob-controlled streets of 1960’s South Philly, Detective Mike Coletti learned early to walk the fine line between cops and criminals. That skill served him well during his thirty-one years in homicide. But it never stopped the nightmares.

Ten years ago, Coletti arrested a priest for a grizzly triple murder in a Catholic church. The screams in the sanctuary still haunt his dreams, as do terrifying hints that justice was never served. Now, on the eve of Coletti’s retirement, the priest is about to be executed—and a final nightmare reveals the truth. And Coletti’s private nightmare come true as the real killer reemerges to turn Philadelphia upside down . . .

To stop the execution of an innocent man, Coletti must catch a mysterious killer who calls himself the Angel of Death. As the chase winds through art galleries and gritty streets, ancient prophecies and holy ground, the game intensifies, cultures collide, and Philly’s best detective is forced to face his nightmarish past—a past that could very well destroy him.
