Crimes of Design
A Patrick MacKenna Mystery
Distraction by a sexy new employee, a late start on the trip, an ice
storm, and Patrick’s life is changed forever.
One morning during a summer of endless rain, when Patrick MacKenna, a
successful, widowed architect and city planner with an eye for fine furniture and
beautiful women, visits the jobsite of his dream project, the new city-within-the city
he has planned and designed, he discovers the body of the city manager, his most
devoted advocate. Within hours he is a suspect in a murder, and his life is turned
upside down.
As attacks against the infrastructure increase, he must outwit the law and fight for
his family, his career and his very life against unknown enemies—who may include
environmental foes of his project, rivals at his office, disgruntled public employees
and jilted lovers—in order to solve the crimes. His judgment is clouded, however, by
his inexplicable guilt over the death of his wife, which compromises his professional
judgment and blinds him to the solution of the case.
When all hope seems lost, Patrick enlists his developer client’s new liaison Meg
Stewart—who would love to win his heart if she could help him free it from his
hidden guilt—as well as persistent Assistant U. S. Attorney Adam Reiner and tough,
sexy FBI agent Bobbi Romano, to scour St. Louis’s underbelly and chase through
Mexico and the Mississippi valley to run down the perpetrators and uncover a
sinister plot. In the process. Although extrication from his dire situation is his
primary concern, Patrick’s must face the attackers of his work and threats to his life
regardless of the consequences. In the process Patrick learns that man's worst
enemy is not nature but man himself.
