A police detective--struggling with the senseless death of his family--is assigned to solve a grisly, racially-motivated murder, but realizes he might have accidentally killed the prime suspect while drinking, in John McMahon's The Good Detective.
McMahon's debut novel starts off like pretty standard "tarnished angel" cop fare, but takes off in surprising directions; not the least of which are ancient orders, premonitions, phantom voices and not one but two legitimate psychics.
If you liked the television series True Detective, especially the first season, you'll find a lot to enjoy in this mix of police procedural and otherworldly phenomenon. A nice surprise, and I will look for McMahon's next book.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read it quickly.
