Terminal Life by Richard Torregrossa
A Luke Stark, Suited Hero Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Oceanview Publishing
What we know about the character: Luke Stark is a Special Forces veteran, who returns home from his second tour in Afghanistan and finds himself in a shelter, where he wears an impeccable suit, an eccentric characteristic that sets him apart from his fellow down-and-outers and just about everybody else. He is nicknamed, somewhat ironically, The Suited Hero. For more information about his first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.
Luke Stark returns home from Afghanistan to learn that his wife has been mysteriously murdered and his son has disappeared. These tragedies, in addition to suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, push him over the edge. He has also been diagnosed with an incipient form of cancer, but he forgoes treatment, a decision that is akin to a slow suicide.
Revenge and the search for his son spark a kind of rebirth in him that is as cathartic as it is brutal. This leads him into the dangerous world of illegal prescription drug distribution, where nobody — not even some family members — is who they appear to be.
