Irene's best friend retired crime reporter O'Connor is dead -- murdered at his own front door... and all because of an unsolved, three-decades-old murder the blustery, big-hearted newspaperman wouldn't let rest in peace. Irene Kelly gave up journalism for public relations, but now the sudden, brutal death of her mentor is pulling her back to the news desk. But the search for O'Connor's killer may prove fatal for the intrepid reborn reporter. Because a savagely murdered "Jane Doe" corpse from thirty years ago is pointing the way into a lethal maze of blood and politics. And in the blink of any eye it could be "Goodnight, Irene"... forever.

The characters are well defined, the plot is solid, thought out and doesn't fall apart at the end. Everything fits and you won't be disappointed in the final scene.
