January Moon (Del Carter Calendar Series)

Calls that come in the middle of the night are seldom good, especially when it’s your mom and she’s hysterical because your dad’s got a dead body in his truck… a very young female dead body… as Chicago homicide cop Del Carter is about to learn things can go from damn bad to real damn bad in a heartbeat. January Moon is played out between the vibrant city life of Chicago and the winter beauty of rural Illinois and Wisconsin, with side trips to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a hospital in Switzerland and a small village in Africa. January Moon is a fast paced suspense story about city and state police, the FBI, victims and perps, healthy families and dysfunctional families, and those who hate and those who don’t, all guaranteed to take readers on a breathless, astonishing, and totally unique ride. Female genital mutilation, domestic terrorism, religious fanaticism, bigotry and racism, the brutality of child abuse, sexual perversion and the pathologies of mental illness…they’ve all crawled out from under their rocks, illuminated by the light of a January Moon. Above all, January Moon is about heroic men, woman, and a dog… all struggling to save and protect those they love from the many monsters who live among us.
