The Dawson Pond Murders: A John Wesley O’Toole Novel

For John Wesley O’Toole, a disbarred attorney-turned art dealer, life appears to be returning to a semblance of normal as his troubles fade into memory. Still in love with his girlfriend, Jenna, another lost soul struggling to overcome her own demons of the past, he hopes to help convince her he would be a good husband and stepfather by showing interest in her young son, Robert, the product of her own failed marriage. Without a father figure in his life, the boy is excited when O’Toole offers to take him fishing in Jenna’s parents’ pond, located on their small family farm in the countryside of rural south Georgia. All goes well until Robert’s lure gets hung on what initially appears to be a small mud-covered log but is soon found to be a tennis shoe containing human bones. Set in historic Savannah, Georgia, this fourth book in the O’Toole series is sure to delight fans of mystery and suspense.
