A Killing Sky

A Killing Sky by Andy Straka

The Anthony Award-nominated second novel in the Frank Pavlicek series.

Ex-cop and avid falconer Frank Pavlicek is hired by the daughter of a philandering Virginia Congressman to find her missing twin sister. Is her disappearance related to her disintegrating relationship with her boyfriend? Or is it somehow connected to her ambitious father’s re-election campaign, a tawdry sex scandal, and a hit-and-run accident that happened twenty years ago? Pavlicek’s investigation unearths long-buried secrets that someone would like to keep six feet under…along with the PI’s corpse.
