About The Book

Sleuthing may be hard, but parenting is harder.

Sometimes parenting sucks, especially at the beginning. There’s too little sleep and too much butt wiping. Fortunately, new dad Owen O’Shea has a brilliant wife and great friends to help him out. He also has a cozy wingback to sit in and a big window to look out from, two small comforts that make those 3 a.m. feedings a hell of a lot easier … at least at first. It’s during one of those wee-hour feedings when Owen witnesses suspicious activity across the way that seems less idyllic-suburban-cul-de-sac and more daytime-drama-meets-high-intrigue-thriller. His curiosity piqued, Owen decides to do what any calm, responsible parent would: dive recklessly into an investigation that is either wildly off-base or life-threateningly true. Are his neighbors innocent suburbanites or murderous psychopaths? Either way, he’s probably screwed.

Praise for 'Feral Chickens': What a cool book. I loved it, the writing, the language, the characters, the story. It is one of those books that is totally unique and purely entertaining and pleasurable. It reminded me of the Scandinavian stories that aren't in a hurry but take you on a glorious journey, you just have to sit back and enjoy it.
