MORAL INJURY
A Mike O'Shea Novel #6
Amateur Sleuth, Historical, Traditional
Desmond P. Ryan
After fourteen years of chasing a ghost, Detective Mike O’Shea is finally closing in.
Malcolm Oakes—the man who murdered Mike’s partner and vanished behind a wall of systemic corruption has resurfaced. Again. But as Mike inches closer to justice, the cost of the pursuit becomes impossible to ignore. The scars of the job run deep, and the line between duty and obsession begins to blur.
When a brutal homicide leads to a missing child, a fraudulent identity, and a trail of exploitation, Mike finds himself navigating a case that’s as personal as it is professional. With allies old and new, and enemies hiding in plain sight, he must confront the ghosts of his past and the rot within the city he’s sworn to serve.
Moral Injury is the gripping final chapter in The Mike O’Shea Series—a raw, unflinching portrait of a cop on the edge, and the price of justice when the system itself has broken.
