A Novel by Bob Petrucelli . . .
It starts on a Tuesday . . .
. . . as America arrives at the threshold of the 1950s,
a time of “cold” war within a time of peace. A well-known and
unquestionably respected police sergeant, a devoted family man
and doting father, lies in a Rhode Island hospital as his family is
notified of his terminal diagnosis -- inoperable, metastasized
stomach cancer. In an unbelievable sequence of events, his young
daughter goes home, gets her father’s service revolver, returns
to the hospital . . . and shoots him dead with a single bullet!
