A Death Ordained

He buried his past. But the dead are restless

A Death Ordained
A Noir Murder Mystery
Tim Masterson—ex-priest, ex-litigator, and full-time cynic—is hired by the Church to investigate a murdered cleric. He suspects he’s less investigator than scapegoat. But twenty grand is twenty grand.
As Tim unravels the case, he uncovers a conspiracy linking the Church, the Irish Mafia, and a radical convent. What begins as a murder probe becomes a reckoning—with corruption, faith, and his own buried past.
Darkly witty and morally complex, A Death Ordained is noir through a sacramental lens—where silence is currency and guilt never dies.
