THE WHISPER LEGACY

Curran's  enemies thought he was dead. They were wrong. He thought his past was  left on the Voula Beach Road. He was wrong. Now, that nightmare is  drawing his enemies out. The halls of power are being targeted-but by  who? Is the secret of the Voula Beach Road behind the chaos? Curran  knows the answer. It's all in The Whisper Legacy.

Marlowe  "Lowe" Curran was once a freelance intelligence operative swashbuckling  around the world-until Greece-until the Voula Beach Road. There, he  lost everything and nearly his life. Now, he's a luckless, aging PI  living on guilt and nightmares-barely paying his rent if not for Tommy  Astor, a well-connected Washington powerbroker. Curran becomes a suspect  in the murder of a philandering husband. He has an alibi-but that alibi  will get him arrested. Is committing crimes trying to resolve other  crimes still a crime? For Curran it is, especially after he's a suspect  in two murders. Chasing the real killer, Curran is haunted by his demons  from the Voula Beach Road, and something called Whisper. On his trail  is an angry, vengeful US Deputy Marshal, gun-happy assassins, and a  shadowy figure thwarting Curran's every success. For each step forward,  there's another threat, another roadblock, another piece of evidence  stacking up against him. Whisper is at the center of his  nightmares-whatever Whisper is. Is Whisper why Charlie Cantrell had to  die? Why bodies are dropping across Washington? Why the President's  short list for running mates is getting shorter? Faced with old foes and  aided by his last surviving Voula Beach friend, Curran must stay ahead  of the assassins, rescue a kidnapped little girl, and find the deadly  secrets hidden within The Whisper Legacy.

"Tj O'Connor  has a rare gift of combining unique character development with a  fast-moving story pace that not only transports you into his world, but  also makes you want to stay.

~ Jay W. Foreman, award-winning  author

"Tj O'Connor's spy thriller novel The Whisper Legacy is a tour de force that grabs readers by the scruff of  the neck, impelling them forward, and it doesn't let go until the last  word. Though Lowe Curran is a compelling and humorous protagonist, who  endears himself to the reading audience with ease, there are truly  spine-tingling moments of terror and horror that he must endure to stay  alive and unravel the intricate web of intrigue at the highest echelons  of power. The author shows real tradecraft not only in his writing style  and character development, but also in his extensive knowledge  reservoir of all things spook."
