John Verdon Ghost Barn: A Dave Gurney Novel - Thriller Novel | Hardcover | 400 Pages

Retired NYPD detective Dave Gurney is drawn into a gripping case of political intrigue that threatens to tear apart a serene Upstate New York town in Ghost Barn, the thrilling conclusion to the Dave Gurney saga. Often compared to Sherlock Holmes, Gurney finds himself facing a formidable adversary while attempting to mend his fractured marriage.

The Story: Ghosts from the past resurface as a contentious local election pits a powerful real estate mogul against a dedicated librarian and conservationist. As protests escalate and ideological divides deepen, the fate of an idyllic hamlet hangs precariously in the balance. When bodies begin to appear and local authorities seem indifferent, Gurney realizes he may be the town's only hope to halt the escalating violence. However, his involvement comes at a significant personal cost, having recently endured a case that endangered his best friend and devastated his marriage. Now focused on detaching from police work to reconcile with his wife, Madeleine, Gurney faces a profound dilemma: ignore the unfolding tragedy and allow a murderer to escape justice, or succumb to his obsessive need to solve the unsolvable, potentially losing Madeleine forever. This harrowing and complex case is destined to be his last.
