The Confessional Killer
(2021)(The third book in the Fortune & Fernandez Serial Killer Thriller series)
A novel by Ian Patterson
NYPD Detectives Dexter Fortune and Gabriella Fernandez, Homicide division's go-to Serial Killer dynamic duo. When the Police Commissioner rings, it's not Ghostbusters or The Caped Crusader he calls, but New York City’s finest, Fortune and Fernandez.
A Priest is dead, discovered murdered and mutilated in the confessional booth of the City's most historic Roman Catholic Church. Premeditated, or an act of random violence? Coverup or revenge? And for Fortune and Fernandez, is this the beginning of the end?
On the eve of the new Pope's visit to New York City, a highly respected priest is discovered murdered and mutilated in the confessional booth of the City's most historic Roman Catholic Church. Anxious to prevent a dead priest overshadowing the introduction of the new Pontiff to his worshippers, the Mayor and Police Commissioner recruit Detectives Dexter Fortune and Gabriella Fernandez to investigate the crime and to quickly and quietly put the matter to rest.
But as Fortune and Fernandez are soon to discover, in the afterlife, the dead do not rest so easily.
They soon suspect the killing is no random act of violence, a suspicion confirmed by the arrival of a shadowy agent from the Vatican Secret Service assigned to monitor their investigation. When a document surfaces written by the dead man, Fortune and Fernandez are thrust into a dangerous world of lies, coverup, and deception: a world of powerful forces where no one can be trusted and no one is who they seem. A world where a New York City Police Detective can be sacrificed in service of the "Greater Good".
Against a backdrop of personal conflict and divided loyalties, of one cop looking forward and another stuck in the past, for Fortune and Fernandez, is this the beginning of the end?
