Summary
Can you ever really bury the past? On a cold November evening back in 1982, real estate lawyer Marty Finnegan and socialite Tracy Reynolds were seen fighting outside the dining room of the Wolforts Roost Country Club. Unbeknownst to them, three drunken teenage boys who attend the same prep school were witnessing their bitter exchange under the cover of darkness. When the boys decide to head out on a joyride that includes holding up Finnegan at gunpoint, their lives take a turn for the worse. Less than 24 hours later, the lawyer will be discovered dead in a patch of woods near his home. He died in subzero temperatures, without having worn a coat or boots, his car parked miles away in an airport parking garage.
Now, it’s 35 years later, and one of the “boys” involved in the original 1982 holdup has found God, and he is about to confess their story to the whole world. But another one of the now middle-aged boys is bent on doing everything in his power to stop the confession. Enter Keeper Marconi, PI, who will reluctantly take on the job of persuading the confessor to keep his mouth shut. But at the same time, the police hire Marconi to delve deeper into the Marty Finnegan cold case file. They want him to determine once and for all if the lawyer simply died while out for a walk in the freezing cold, or was he murdered in cold blood?

Cold Case
P.I Jack Marconi, known as Keeper was asked by a new client to speak with an old school friend who had now joined a religious organisation and was about to make public an incident that happened 35 years ago. The client who is now a wealthy man, told Keeper that when the was in prep school, himself and two friends who had too much to drink one night, set out to threaten a man named Marty Finnigan into paying back the money he had taken from his now ex-girlfriend. Only the thing was Finnigan was found dead the next day. It was said that the he had gone for a walk in the freezing cold at night and ended up having a heart attack which killed him. Now one of the three young men was dead and the other was about to go public with what had happened that night. The client wanted Keeper to speak to this man and stop him from telling all. Together with his friend Blood they set out to do just that. But things are not as they seem, and opened up a can of worms for Keeper. A good thriller with an intriguing plot. The only thing I didn’t like was the speed with which the narrator whipped through the story, took all the atmosphere out of it.

The Bridge of Sighs.
The dream team of author Vincent Zandri and narrator Andrew B Wehrlen return with another P.I. Jack (Keeper) Marconi investigation, this time following up on a 35 years old cold case where the dead man had died of natural causes according to the local police. But it's an odd one, naturally, since the now wealthy client had admitted to Keeper of robbing the man that same night with two close friends, one of whom had recently died and the other was about to go public with the details. The client wanted this second friend stopped - it would ruin his reputation - and was willing to pay well to make him change this mind.
Keeper, miserable at the loss of girlfriend, Val, who'd left him for someone more tender and with a big house, and drinking heavily to drown his sorrows, together with Blood starts nosing around, backed by Detective Miller who remembered the case from when he was a young cop. This is another full bodied noir thriller of the old school, great characters and intriguing plot, all brought to life through Mr.Wehrlen's pacey interpretive narration. Great characters, great story, great performance. And supposedly based on a true story. Just a pity that it had to end so soon.
My thanks to the rights holder of Sins of the Sons, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. For all who like their detectives damaged and enjoy the noir, highly recommended.
