Let the Devil Sleep, John Verdon

Tinnitus, withdrawal, the constant need to be armed. Dave Gurney’s wife can see him pulling away from the world. He needs something to engage his mind, draw him out of himself which is just what Connie Clark gives him. Her daughter Kim is doing a TV show for the RAM news network. The project, titled The Orphans of Murder has Kim interviewing families of murder victims. She has picked a sacred cow in the law enforcement community The Good Shepherd Murders. Ten years ago blanket coverage of the case catapulted RAM to the top of the media ladder, cemented many professional reputations and destroyed more than just the victim’s families.

Against his better judgement Gurney agrees to Kim hiring him as an advisor. The Good Shepherd was never caught and when Gurney starts to investigate the house of cards that the FBI calls a case he does more than raise the ire of the FBI, he awakens a killer.
